319: Is it useful to learn songs?


Listen Later

Hilina asks. "Is it useful to learn songs?"

In Today's Episode:
  • The links between musical ability and language ability are sketchy at best...
  • However, most of know intuitively that there is a link
  • I think the most obvious connection is with pronunciation
  • Learning songs is a great way to add variety in your language routine, and to learn vocabulary and phraseology
  • Music is also a wonderful way to focus on pronunciation in your target language
Today's Resources:
  • Interview with Stephen Krashen - Language learning and the polyglot community
  • Olly singing songs in various languages
