WHAT BENEFITS DO SONGS BRING TO LEARN SPANISH?
Learning Spanish with songs has many advantages. Besides, It has been scientifically demonstrated that we learn faster if we listen to music.
So here I tell you some of the benefits that songs bring us when learning Spanish.
✏ With songs we memorize vocabulary easily.
✏ We learn expressions and colloquialisms that you don’t usually learn in a regular classroom but that are used in lots of songs.
✏ Songs help us to understand new words in Spanish and use them correctly.
✏ Learn Spanish with songs help us improve pronunciation and expand our vocabulary because when we learn we try to imitate intonation. Thus, we get a less pronounced accent.
✏ We can use songs to speak more fluently and get more confidence and ease to communicate with other people in Spanish.
WHERE TO START LEARNING SPANISH WITH SONGS?
If you have never ever used songs to learn Spanish or you are just starting to learn this language my I advise you to choose songs and rhythms that you like and enjoy. That way will be easier to listen to and you will be motivated to do this activity.
But you should consider to start picking between the songs you like those that have a slower pace, so you can follow along easily such as romantic ballads, salsas or merengues.
My advice is to start small, step by step. These are some songs that I recommend to my students so that they start listening to songs in Spanish and you can also use them to learn Spanish with songs.
✏ A Dios le pido o Día lejano (Juanes).
✏ Mentiras (Los amigos invisibles).
✏ Te quiero (Maluma).
✏ Bonito (Jarabe de Palo).
✏ Antes de las seis (Shakira).
✏ Despacito (Luis Fonsi).
✏ Cada mañana (Reik).
These are just some songs that you can start with, but if you like this idea of learning Spanish with songs you can follow my playlist in Spotify “Aprender español con canciones” with lots of song to listen in Spanish.
