"I really do believe you guys have cracked the code - I am truly terrible at languages, but your system sticks in my brain, it must be magic!"

Row Turner, The British Forces Broadcasting Service

Brain Optimised

You know the 'earworm' effect, catchy music and lyrics that you can't get out of your head?

Using the phenomenal power of music, the Earworms Method plants the words of a foreign language into the auditory cortex of your brain - ready for instant recall.

Music is the key!

Using music as the medium is not only fun and entertaining, it is also highly effective.

Firstly, music primes the neural networks and puts the learner into the optimum state of consciousness for learning, the so-called Alpha state; relaxed but at the same time receptive.

Secondly, music engages and stimulates both right and left hemispheres of the brain, unleashing more learning potential. Music also allows for repetition without monotony.

All these features together lead to a much higher rate of retention than with traditional learning methods.

Manageable chunking

Instead of seeing a language in terms of individual words and grammar, the Earworms approach immerses the learner in real-life dialogues and expressions.

These are then broken down into smaller bite-size chunks, practiced rhythmically with music and then reconstructed into full sentences.

The Earworms App

The Earworms App now features a karaoke-like synchronised text function, which gives an extra bit of visual input to reinforce the audio learning effect. It also includes a downloadable PDF transcript of the course.
