Why learn Spanish through music
In this section, we will review the reasons why to learn Spanish through music. First, listening to Spanish songs is a good way to improve your language skills. The repetition of rhythmic phrases helps you memorize new vocabulary.
It’s like the organic learning of children listening to something on TV. The more they hear it, the more they repeat it, and the more they assimilate it. If you focus your attention on that one thing you like, you could learn more in a day than you have learned so far.
That’s why I consider music to be a magnificent element for Spanish language immersion. Especially because of how enjoyable Hispanic music is.

Music never stops playing
I think that there´s not a single human being who doesn´t love and enjoy music. There´s indeed variety in tastes and preferences, but we all love good music.
The first thing we learn as babies are those beautiful lullabies that our parents sing to us. Then we discover fun songs in school that talks about letters, animals, or colors.
Our musical taste becomes more refined until we have one or more favorite genres of music. I particularly have many and enjoy everything from a good opera to Caribbean salsa.
Open yourself to enjoy life and decide to be happy. May the music never stop playing. Choose your favorites and let the music teach you Spanish!
