If you are trying to learn Spanish you know that practice is key. And you also know that life is hectic and it is hard enough to find the time to come to class once a week. How are you supposed to find the time to search for other resources? Fear not! We are here to help. We will be here once a month with easy ideas on how to practice Spanish at home.

There is a wealth of research supporting the use of music when learning a new language. Here are a few of the reasons why it is such a great tool:

• It evokes emotions. This makes language learning memorable and motivating
• It engages the brain. There are many cognitive benefits to listening to and learning music
• It helps with pronunciation. Music includes features such as individual sounds, connected speech, word stress, weak vowel sounds and intonation
• It helps you increase your vocabulary. The repetition contained in songs is a very powerful tool to help you memorize words

This month we want to challenge you to learn a new song in Spanish! You can pick any song that appeals to you, or if you don’t want to spend time searching and hit the ground running, you can pick the one we have selected for you below.

We would love to hear how the process goes! Share in the comments
