Relax and forget that your're learning!
I never did German at school, but I intend to live out there eventually, so needed to learn the language from scratch. I feel so fortunate to have found this, as it does everything it promises to do. It has really tuned my ear in to the language, and by playing it in the background as I do household chores or whilst driving, with vrtually no effort, I have begun to understand and say some very useful sentences and phrases. My German speaking friends have commented that my pronunciation is very authentic, too. A real find! I can't wait for Volume 2.

Useful idea
Some useful phrases and the ability to here the same phrase repeated several times is invaluable. I’ve actually got vol.2 of this as well, and the pronunciation on that is clearer than on parts of volume 1. Given that “ihn”, “ihm” and “ihnen” mean different things, it’s vital that the ends of words are enunciated clearly.

Great way to learn!
I started learning German with this audiobook and after just a few days I've picked up enough of the language to have a passable chat with friends. Great for learning on the commute to work - just put it on and listen. My only criticism is of Amazon/Audible - the DRM means that I can't put this onto my phone to listen :(

Strange but effective
Any additional comments?
Effective to quickly learn certain words and phrases with little effort. However, it is odd to listen to and it can feel abit hollow using a credit (or worse £10-£12) for just over 1 hours worth of german and a bit of music. Having said that worth every penny by how quickly i have learnt several phrases and words from a couple of repreats. 5 stars if it was longer.

Learning German
Like any of the language courses, you get out what you put in. This course uses a music background with a native and English speaker going over German phrases and words. The course tends to provide a sentence, in English, and then in German and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. The course is similar to the other earworms courses, and if you liked one of the others I imagine you'll ; like this one.
It's not a bad idea, although the tunes are not that great, I find that I can recall some of the sentences. A good supplement for learning, or for a quick fix before heading on holiday but it is not a good standalone course.

Used skills learnt in Germany and was successful
Have tried several CD language systems to varying degrees of success but this is the best i have every used. Whilst it will not turn you into a fluent German speaker, it does give the confidence to use the language when with Germanic speakers.

not compatible with all MP3 Players
No mention of the fact that not all mp3 players are compatible with the file type. Mine, a Sony, is not so have wasted my money!

German like a "Gangsta Rappa"
It's water, not wata, right? In German it is also wasser and not wassa. This Earworm title is not up to my expectation of a crisp and crystal clear pronunciation. However, as a native speaker I did not go through the whole course.
