Why is it good to learn languages with music? Music has a number of advantages when it comes to learning any language.
In fact, it has been scientifically proven that listening and singing to songs are very beneficial for language learning.
Why is this exactly?
When singing, you make an effort to reproduce the different sounds and tones, which helps the accent become less pronounced when speaking. The songs are ideal to work on pronunciation and intonation, it helps to assimilate different accents of the same dialect to improve oral expression.
In addition, by listening to music, you can enrich your vocabulary and better assimilate the syntax. Lyrics of songs often contain expressions and everyday words that are not always learned in a classroom.
Assimilating new words and expanding vocabulary is easier because most songs will repeat words or phrases several times during the chorus. Not only do you learn new words more easily, but also faster.
We believe you can use the following steps to learn Spanish with music:
If you like a certain type of music, then you will have no difficulty choosing songs that you’d like to learn or want to dissect. Pay attention to the different accents and colloquial language. If you can’t think of any song in Spanish to listen to, you can always listen to something trendy or recommended by friends.
The most important thing is to listen to the same song several times since repetition is one of the most important factors in learning a language.
To improve the pronunciation of your Spanish, you should try to sing and improve the pronunciation with each repetition. For now, nothing happens if you don’t understand the meaning of the song, the most important thing is to improve the pronunciation. If you sing but are only ‘reading’ the lyrics, it can be hard to avoid the pronunciation errors that you may make.
As a complementary exercise, if you are intermediate or advanced level Spanish try to write the lyrics of the song while listening to it.
Once you have done the pronunciation exercise, sing what you can. Then you can look for the song lyrics or songs you want to learn/memorize. Listen to the songs and learn the lyrics and meaning! Learn words that you did not know or that you don’t know the meaning of. Pay attention to the phrases that seem most interesting to you.
This is the fun part when you’re ready and know the lyrics of the songs very well, it is best to sing non-stop! As we’ve said, repetition is a fundamental pillar of memorization. Practicing with songs in Spanish is a great complement to learning the language!
