Hi, Sami,

Learning French doesn't have to be boring. It can be a somewhat long process, so why not make it fun?

There are many resources at our disposal. I will be sharing more tips with you.

Hi,

Yes, this is a good time to learn something new. Languages are really useful. What's even better, we can do it all from our homes.

Thanks for commenting.

HI, Bruce,

You don't have to be a great singer. Many of us aren't. However, using songs to learn a language helps us remember things more easily.

Learning to speak French by listening to songs sounds so much fun. I know that some time has to be spent with basic French language rules, the way words can be used, all the basic stuff. But to know that you can also add the songs to change the way you are learning the words is such a game-changer for me.

I think I might be less afraid of the challenge with the help of songs. Your selection of songs that you have suggested seems to be a nice range of interesting songs that could help. The overall challenge to learn another language has always seemed too overwhelming. I just didn't want to try. However, with the clever addition of song to learn and sing I could be successful as well.

I was interested in learning French because we were thinking that in a year or two we might travel to France. This would give me time to get it done. Thanks for the information, Sami

What a wonderful idea. I learned French at school, but it's been a long time since then lol. I liked it and I still like it very much. I often listen to French songs, for the pleasure of hearing how this beautiful language sounds. Of course I listened several times to "La vie en rose" -Edith Piaf, "Aux champs elisees" -Joe Dassin.

What a great idea, first, I couldn't think of a better time to be teaching yourself something new with the COVID-19 situation taking place, and secondly, whenever you put something to a song, it makes memorization of it so much easier. I actually used this method when teaching the kids their fundamentals in school.

Nice to point out that proper pronunciation can actually be affected by the rhythm of the song, but, that is a small easy fix. Overall, it's a great idea.

I have used this a little with Spanish. I did not think of it as learning a language but can see how it would work. I wish I had seen this article or one like it 20 years ago.

I don't sing very well, but I can see how much help it would be. It would also help to remember and review.

I think that the topic is one that will gain a lot of interest. Learning a new language opens of whole new channels of thought.
