How to learn Spanish with music in 5 easy steps

What if I told you there was a fun, easy way to learn Spanish vocabulary and grammar - would you be interested?

Let’s face it, textbooks and dictionaries aren’t exactly motivating. However, most of us enjoy listening to music.

You may even be already using music to help you concentrate better when learning other subjects. And some studies prove that music can activate large areas of your brain, so you’ll be more receptive to a new language.

When it comes to learning Spanish, not all methods are created equal – just like not all learners are created equal. Some people are more visual, others learn by doing, but listening remains one of the most important factors in learning a language.

Traditional language learning methods like group lessons don’t suit everyone, but who wouldn’t want to listen to catchy Spanish songs?

Where can I find a selection of Spanish songs which are ideal for learning?

Glad you asked! Spanish Mix of course! 😀

We have a great selection of songs where you can easily follow along with the Spanish lyrics as well as the English translations.
