Hi everyone,

I like music and I often listen to songs in different languages.
Let me tell you, this is a fun and good way to learn a language! :)

What do you think about it and do you like learning languages ​​with music?

Personally I really enjoy listening to traditional folk music from all over the world. The driving sound of an Australian didgeridoo, the beat of African drums, or the sweet melody of the Andean flute. I love music in all its infinite forms. And of course I also like listening to pop, rock and other "modern" styles.

If you're not too shy you can try singing karaoke. It can be a funny way to practice the languages you learn. And if you don't know how to pronounce a difficult word, don't worry. Just make it up! :lol:

Hi, [mention]Explorer[/mention]!

Thank you for this great post! :)

I can't imagine the World without music, I would probably get depressed!

I like all kinds of music, from light to classical, but it has to be "catchy" - ( in Polish "wpaść w ucho" )
e.g.
The Most Beautiful Waltz Music

... and these "Waltzes" are wonderful and I can listen to them all day long!

Yes, I sing with karaoke a lot and I do it! - in other words, I try to pronounce these difficult words correctly! ... hehehe. 😊

Polish looks extremely difficult to pronounce. I can't imagine myself singing karaoke without butchering every single word of this beautiful language.

[mention]gmads[/mention] I hope no one is listening to reggaeton to learn Spanish. Those songs definitely don't have the most refined lyrics. 🤣

OK, this is the last song I shared on the Hebrew subforum. I last did the "legends" skill and got some sentences about witches, so I remembered this song. :twisted:

There are a lot of good reasons for learning a foreign language by listening to music. Apart from the results of brain research concerning the brain areas that are involved in learning languages, newer trends in learning theory underline the importance of learning so-called chunks of language, multi-word units like collocations, lexical phrases, phrasal verbs, functional expressions, idioms, and so on (https://www.cambridge.org/elt/blog/wp-c ... Chunks.pdf). Combined with melody and rhythm, these chunks stick in your brain easily. I belong to the generation that learned English with the Beatles. I'll never forget one line from "Help" that contains two grammatical items and one phrasal verb in one line of six words: "I do appreciate you being round."
I think it might be a good idea to share our favorite songs in our own language and in the languages we are learning. My favorite song in German is a brand-new one, "Ich tauche auf" by Tocotronic. My favorite dialect song is an old Low German (https://language.mki.wisc.edu/essays/hi ... ow-german/) folk song, "Dat du min leefste büst". There are many versions of it, e.g. by Hannes Wader.
My favorite Italian songs are "Il vecchio e il bambino" by Francesco Guccini and "Napule è" by Pino Daniele (in Napoletan dialect). In English I like listening to "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba, which is a perfect illustration of the situation in the drama "Educating Rita" by William Russell, and "American Pie" by Don McLean, a song that reminds me of my year in Scotland.

French researcher, Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis stated that Mozart's music has a unique effect on the brain, because it improves concentration and learning ability, and increases the intelligence quotient.

... I suggest listening to his music:

..... but it turned out that the brain likes not only Mozart, but many different pieces of music have similar properties that stimulate the cerebral cortex, for example Vivaldi's work, especially the famous "Four Seasons":

I wish you a pleasant relaxation. :)

I love music! I have one of the weirdest playlists of anyone I know though, I'll link it here. It mostly consists of power metal, marches from different countrie's militaries, folk music, sea shanties, and nightcore.

Whiskey in the Jar is a classic and a favorite of
Mine. 🙂

Of mine, too. I really like this sort of Irish songs. There was one from the 1970s titled "The whole world's turning paddy". It was sung by the Fureys and made fun of Richard Nixon after Watergate. In the song, Nixon is desperately trying to find Irish roots in his family. He goes to Dublin and, scouting around, finds a gravestone that says: "Here lies old Nick." "Said Nixon, that'll do the trick. He's Irish now as Hitler was a Jew." - "And the tapes he won't hand over / Are the words of "The Wild Rover," / "A Nation once again" and "The Foggy Dew"." I had to think of that song when they were searching Trump's cosy little home for secret documents. For the (approximate) text, see https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=2576. I could only find the text, the tune is from "Nelson's Farewell":
