Looking for a fun, relaxing way to improve your Italian skills?
If so, Italian music is the perfect way to put a song in your heart.
Why Italian Music Is Ideal for Language Learning
It’s catchy.
You know how a song can get stuck in your head, playing on an infinite loop for hours, if not days? I think we all know that struggle. Just imagine, though, if this song was in Italian.
You wouldn’t just be learning the song when you heard it on the radio or on YouTube, you’d be learning it more and more every time you sang it to yourself or played it over and over in your head while you were trying to go to sleep at night!
Catchy songs are endearing to all of us, and the catchier a song is, the more we want to keep listening to it (and in this case, learning from it), even if a lot of that “listening” comes from the darn thing being stuck in our heads all week.
It’s a fun way to learn.
When you learn Italian by listening to Italian music, you don’t feel like you’re learning at all. Learning from textbooks can sometimes make you feel like you’re working a second job just trying to master Italian. With Italian music, though, you just feel like you’re listening to the radio, which is almost guaranteed to put you in good spirits.
There’s a song for every mood and for every person, and once you find yours you won’t even realize that you’ve learned a huge block of Italian vocabulary by heart!
It helps with pronunciation.
While it’s a great idea to start learning Italian by reading books and other printed media, you can never expect to pronounce a word correctly if you’ve never heard it spoken out loud.
Italian music helps with this, because it gives you the opportunity to hear Italian words spoken out loud and used in the context in which you would speak them in your everyday life (whether or not your life is like a dramatic love ballad). Read More...
