Using music to learn Spanish LightSpeed Spanish

Posted by

Here at lightSpeed Spanish we are thrilled to present a new Spanish learning resource that uses music to learn Spanish.

The site is called Songbird and utilises a great system to help you to learn. Currently, there is a wide range of Spanish language songs that have been designed to take you through a process of learning that will fix the Spanish firmly into your mind.

Songbird is free to use and is well worth the time you will spend there. Studies have shown that language can be aquired at a faster rate through the medium of music so this resource will be a great addition to your studies!

We wish the creators of Songbird mucha suerte con su proyecto and look forward to its further development!

Un saludo,

Gordon y Cynthia:)
