Music & Convo Club
Sign up for a monthly subscription and receive unlimited access to all of our conversational club events!
For Elementary Speakers & Beyond! (A2-C2)
Learning Spanish through songs is an extremely powerful way to get words and expressions to stay in our minds long-term. We all get songs stuck in our heads—so put that to good use and use it as a learning tool to improve your language skills! Each week we will provide you with a song to listen to and a worksheet to complete prior to the club event which will highlight pronunciation, listening comprehension, grammar and vocabulary. The club event itself will be pure conversation, getting you thinking and speaking about the song's overall message, newly learned lexicon and interesting syntax. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today to reserve your spot!
*Don't forget to watch the assigned music video in full and complete the comprehension activity sheet prior to the start of the session. All classes will be conducted almost entirely in Spanish.

3 Advantages to Learning Spanish through Music
|
IMPROVE YOUR PRONUNCIATION
By following the lyrics of songs and singing them out loud, you can imitate how natives pronounce difficult words and adjust your pronunciation. Doing this regularly can also help reduce your foreign-sounding accent. You don’t even need to have a good singing voice. |
SHARPEN YOUR LISTENING SKILLS
After several repetitions of a song, you’ll get an ear for the sounds of the foreign words, expressions and idioms. You’ll be able to catch and understand difficult words that you normally wouldn’t recognize when spoken by a native speaker and have better listening comprehension skills. |
EXPAND YOUR SPANISH VOCABULARY
Music is known to help trigger memory recall due to the synaptic formations in the brain, which are stimulated by the melody and lyrics of music. This technique helps learners memorize vocabulary better than by rote learning, which relays on repetition and constant exposure. |
