I can’t see the karaoke text scrolling.

Occasionally this glitch happens with newly published courses or where a bundled course for say levels 1 and 2 together has been withdrawn to make way for a trio bundle levels 1-3. It is easily remedied if you contact us and let us know the language and level you are experiencing problems with

Help! My earworms App crashes when I open it.

With so many different devices, makes, models, and ever-changing iOS and Android versions there is a small chance that a technical glitch can get through - it happens even to the best App developers. And we do understand how annoying this is.

However we would like to ask you to give us the opportunity to fix the problem before writing a bad review. It could be something simple like the App has been updated and you’re running an old version.

Before contacting us, check to see if an update is available:

Open the App Store or Play Store App
Search ‘Earworms’
Tap ‘Update’ if you see it

If you see ‘Open’ you have the latest version. Please return to the Earworms App, and use the contact us link in the menu for support. Rest assured if we can’t help you immediately, we will report the issue to our developer, and they will produce a fix ASAP.

If you are the first to report a bug, we will even reward you with a complementary code for a new course. We are committed to regularly updating our App and we are only an email away.

Why do I have to keep re-downloading my Earworms tracks on my Android device?

Assuming your device has enough space, you probably need to enable storage permissions for the Earworms App.

How do I enable storage permissions in system settings?

On your Android device, go to 'settings'
Tap Apps and again Apps
Scroll down to the Earworms app and tap 'Permissions'
Slide the 'Storage' slider to the on position

Why do my Earworms tracks stop playing after several minutes?

If the Earworms App stops playing the issue is most likely a setting or preference on your device. Perhaps your device is set to prevent apps playing in the background, or perhaps you have a battery optimisation setting that conserves energy by putting apps to sleep after say 10 minutes.

I don't see any Karaoke type text on my Android Device.

Please update your Earworms App to version 1.0.88 by visiting the Play Store.

16th September 2021

Thank you to customers that reported this issue with later patches on Android 11. Our developer has fixed the bug. The update will be available very soon.

THE EARWOMS METHOD

1. Brain-based:

The Earworms method not only provides the words, phrases and grammar that you need to learn a language, it also actively anchors them into the auditory cortex of your brain! It’s much more than language courses, it's language learning! Learn French, Spanish, English, Italian, German or Dutch listening to music lyrics.

2. Music is the key:

Using music as the medium to learn languages is not only fun, it is also effective. Firstly, music puts the learner into the optimum state of consciousness for learning different languages. Secondly, language learning through music lyrics allows repetition (a prerequisite when you learn a language). On top of that, music engages and stimulates both hemispheres of the brain, unleashing more learning potential.

3. Chunking:

Instead of language learning in terms of individual words and grammar, the Earworms approach immerses the learner in real-life dialogues and expressions with lyrics. These are broken down into bite-size chunks, practiced rhythmically with music and then reconstructed into full sentences. This gives the learner a strong sense of how real language courses are constructed and learning French, Spanish, German, Italian, English and other different languages and their vocabulary becomes easy.

IMPORTANT FEATURES

* Developed by language teaching experts.

* Convenient. 6-9 minute tracks. Listen and learn track by track, any time, anywhere.

* Audio-visual experience with 'karaoke-like' live lyrics feature.

* Specific unambiguous goals. 200+ optimally selected sets of words and phrases to learn a language.

* Measurable. Easy tracking of progress of your language courses.

* Target language spoken by native speakers - so correct pronunciation is acquired automatically.

* Relevant. Carefully chosen content-rich language. Based on the CEF (Common European Framework) and immediately useful to the learner.

* Time-bound. The musical memory method enables real rapid progress.

* Educational discounts are available. Visit www.earwormslearning.com/support/teachers

* Volume 2. This language learning course will soon have you talking about yourself, chatting and even flirting!

* Volume 3. Here you learn more useful everyday situations while going more into the structure, the grammatical rules of the language while improving your vocabulary.

https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/649055b8706f837cb101ca05 Excellent, very effective and fun language learning method! I love learning languages and I've used Earworms Languages courses to help me learn multiple languages over the years. I find it really works and helps to effortlessly embed the core structures, vocab and phrases of a language into your brain so you get a good foot in the door to a language quite quickly. The songs are fun to listen to also. I put them on with headphones wherever I happen to be, and I've found them to be a very effective and enjoyable learning tool. Date of experience: June 18, 2023 Reply from Earworms Languages Jun 20, 2023 Thank you Neil for your many purchases, 5 star rating and detailed review of the Earworms Language Learning Method. It's most appreciated ? You're so correct, 'listening' is without effort and it's how we all learned our first language. The lexical approach, breaking down the language and reconstructing sentences helps you understand the core structures. And the music enables you to recall what you've learned easily. We make the tracks fun so you enjoy them and want to keep listening, it's the fast progress that inspires and motivates our students to continue their learning. That's our goal. Thanks again for your support and championing our quirky learning method. Maria from Earworms ?❤️?

https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6499816dc4234462867ea4ec easy download easy download - great for listening to while washing up Date of experience: June 17, 2023 Reply from Earworms Languages Updated Jun 27, 2023 Bonjour et merci beaucoup for your rating and review of Rapid French Vol. 3, https://www.earwormslearning.com/french We promote that the Earworms Method makes language learning a pleasure, not a chore. As you've found you can actually do chores while you're learning! I do my learning walking my dog, I tend to repeat out loud, the dog is now a polyglot. Only kidding, we're yet to break into the canine world ?. But seriously, you've hit on an excellent point, you don't have to stare at a screen or punch in responses, so you don't have to set aside extra time to learn a language with Earworms. Thanks for your order and your time! Maria ?❤️?

Play Store review The best way to learn simple useful phrases for a holiday. I'd tried many of the better known apps and made little or no progress. With this app I had some useful language skills in just a few weeks. I was asked a number of times if I was portuguese while on holiday and praised for my pronunciation. Volume 3 does unravel a bit with some irrelevant scenarios and a lot to take on board with grammar and vocabulary. It almost feels as though you're not expected to reach this stage. Support v good Earworms Ltd 19 Jul 2023, 12:59 Hey Nigel, we're delighted for you, you found success with Earworms Portuguese! Yay! And it's much appreciated you've mentioned we succeeded to teach you the language where more well known Apps, have failed. Thank you for your 5 star rating, review & feedback! You're right vol. 3 steps up a notch, just keep listening & you'll learn. All the best!

Play Store Review Background music is easy to listen to and it's very catching. Earworms Ltd 19 Jul 2023, 13:17 Thank you Julia for sharing! You're absolutely right, the music is so catchy you can't help but learn the words & phrases with it. I'm not sure which language you're learning, whether it's French/German or even Mandarin/Japanese, I know you'll succeed. Thanks again your 5 star review & rating of the Earworms App & Method - Maria from Earworms
