Re:
But you said you wanted to learn another language. Just try the 'book approach' without the music.

Vogue - I tried the "sample" download, and for me, the background music just makes it more annoying.  I have a problem with learning language other than English.  For some people, language acquisition is second nature, for me, it isn't even a nature at all!!!!!!  Mal

In the '80s one Portuguese professor made everyone buy these books on
Cantando, to learn, same idea........I don't know how it went, but they no longer use the program all these years later.

But we all know that we can memorize 10,000 songs with little effort, if they are good songs....

Isn't what we were doing when we were young and foolish: listen to music bands and try to repeat the lyric to learn the language? (I mean English singing bands for me...) LOL

Can one just listen to the music and skip the words?
If not, perhaps they could include it as a feature in the next upgrade, a la Microsoft. Make sure you recommend it to them in your product assessment  (only joking  )
