Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

Let's face it: the language market is changing. English has been the lingua franca for a while now, but it's not going to always be that way. It's projected that Chinese or Spanish might take over the English language as the lingua franca in the next century. So it makes sense that you're searching this book: Spanish is an in-demand language to know. By knowing Spanish, you're opening the door to communication with hundreds of millions more people than you could speak with before.

Story
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Story
Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters? Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

Story
Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

There just isn't enough of it
I have nothing but praise for the presentation and method. I further give extra high marks for the downloadable text (Audible should make such text availabe with every lanaguage and city guide)! My only complaint is that it does not really supply very much vocabulary. On a price/information ratio, Dr. Blair's Mandarin is better; on price/pleasure ratio, Earworms is tops.

Good
This is a good place to start for the price. I found the music in the background sometimes interferred with the ability to hear the pronunciation clearly. Would be nice to be able to mute it at times.

So-So
While the content was OK, this audio does not have the feel that I was looking for. I felt embarrassed that someone might catch me listening to the ridiculous music that goes along with the words. If you are looking for repetition though this is the audio for you. You could almost not be thinking and still learn something.

use as supplement only
As others have pointed out, this product has a serious flaw. The background music often drowns out the speaker.
I do think think this has some value, but only as a supplement. If you have another source for learning the vocabulary found on this audio (and pretty much any beginner course will cover it) then this is a nice way to help cement things in you head. Don't buy this thinking it is the only beginner source you need.

the format and reputation really help
this book is divided into chapters and it is easy to review each chapter again and again. the first chapter covers how to say," I would like a coffee with milk, and a tea with sugar"; while other chapters are about numbers,days of the week, asking to be taken to different cities , buy tickets, etc. there are two people, a man who usually speaks the English part and a woman who usually speaks the Chinese. it starts by her asking him "If you want something how would you ask it ( or something to that effect)?" He answers, "I would like" she then says that in Chinese, then he says "I " and she says it in Chinese, repeat that about 6 times. he then says, "would like" and she repeat that a few times, then "I would like" a few times, then coffee. I think you get the idea. he points out sentence structure, and little clues to help remember some words. I've been using anki flash cards with a deck called "chinese spoon fed" and they are excellent, but this book really helped me understand sentence structure and individual words meaning. as far as the music, it's fine. I almost didn't get this book because if all the complaints about the music. the truth is that without the pinyin in front of you it is hard sometimes to tell exactly what sounds you are hearing on any type of audio only language tape. so you listen again and again and try your best. I have Chinese friends and I have to do the exact same thing when they try to teach me. I have to have them say it over and over and try to imitate them. This is a great book, learning any language isn't easy.

Quick and easy
As I prepare to go to China, I find this audiobook very easy to learn simple phrases that will help me for the few days I'll be there. I look forward to using what I've learned in the next few weeks.

Great Langauge Learning Tool
This is a great way to learn Mandarin Chinese. I've tried many other podcasts, read books, and this is the most accurate learning help I've found. Earworms uses the correct Chinese words by an actual Chinese person. They aren't singing the words so you can actually hear the tones which is so important for learning Chinese! Thanks so much! I'll definitely buy earworms again!

Delivers what it promises...
This has been the easiest and most effective way for me to ingest vocab and basic grammar skills for Mandarin. It delivers what it says it does and doesn't require a lot of attention, which is good because the music is pretty cheesey.

Somewhat useful
This was useful for simple travel in China, but the background music is annoying, and makes it very difficult to hear the Chinese pronunciation and proper accent.

Best I have found.
I gave this five stars because it is the best Chinese learning material that I have found so far. The music really helps prevent the boredom found with other programs, although if you want to sit and study something like "Chinese for Dummies" may be a better choice. The material is repeated several times with the segment which prevents the need for rewinding. I enjoy the voices of both narrators as well.
