 Rating:  - It's all greek to me....Volume 1 has already been useful - my wife, daughter and myself were in Greece a couple of months ago and having even limited skills in the language totally changed the attitude of the locals towards us! Christine (daughter) was a great hit around the town we were staying in as she was the only British child who had any skills at all in the language. The Rosetta Stone system is pretty good (and goes further) - but for pain free and quick learning of basics of a language at sensible prices, I'm really impressed with the Earworms method! Volume 2 expands on vol 1 - although it can mostly be used standalone, you'll want some of the parts from Vol 1 - particularly the numbers track. This volume leads you into ... Read More: Rating: - Greek made easyIf you want to acquire some basic Greek phrases then I would highly recommend this CD as your best starting point. It is made up of ten tracks which cover some 200 basic words and phrases. Each track has music in the background - more about this later. There is also a booklet which accompanies the CD. It has the text which is spoken and also some advice on using the CD. Everyone wants a shortcut to learning and it would be easy to be disappointed by any course which made such bold claims. This is not, in my opinion, a shortcut to learning a language. There is no magic here. The reason why it seems to work so well is that the musical background makes it much more palatable to listen to it over and over and over again. And, with ...

However, here's what they don't tell you on the box: while it is set to music, the words are spoken. There is no melody or beat to the words, but only behind the words. Sometimes they'll electronically repeat something, but it's still not singing; it's spoken. Rating: - Implants Greek words in your mindI think this cd is very good. I do a lot of driving and listened to it in my car. I take greek lessons in a class too and this definately helped to put some extra words in my vocabulary. Rating: - Love it!This is an interesting concept - hypnotic music dubbed with language to help it sink in. I saw this for sale on amazon and checked out the publishers site (where you can hear samples). One play and I was sold on the idea (amazon worked out almost 50% cheaper by the way). The CD is now on my MP3 player and a regular listen. I'm not sure if it is totally perfect for beginners as the order on the CD is quite random (starts with "I would like a coffee, with milk, please", and teaches you how to say "I am vegetarian" before you can count to ten). However, for all the strange order, it works. If you listen to it often enough, the tunes sink in, rather like an annoying pop song (!) but be warned, look at the booklet whilst listening - some ...
