    I LOVE this video because a russian song inspired me to learn the cyrillic alphabet. It "На заре" and I instantly loved that song, but understood nothing and since I didn't know the letters I could never find it! So I added a russian keyboard app on my phone and learned the alphabet to find this song (and many more) on Spotify.
    Then I wanted to know what the song meant, then I wanted to verify that the lyrics translation is decent etc. long story short I am literally learning russian over this one song. If I hadn't clicked this song, I wouldn't even have cared but now I'm like ok, might as well do the whole language. And there's soooo many russian youtubers, I feel like youtube has doubled in size ever since I started to understand some of what they're saying.

    it is interesting how you use songs for language learning, I am a big fan of using songs too, but what I do is basically get obsessed with certain singers or songs and just listen to them very often until I know them by heart (almost always I will need to read the lyrics a couple of times). Then I sing along (if I am alone, since I am a terrible singer!!) and this helps to improve vocab, grammar and pronounciation. It is just awesome, as it does not feel like I am learning, but I am :)

    When I was learning French in school, my teacher had a project where we had to translate and study the song “Papaoutai”. Mannn I loved that project. We would get into groups and go through it and write words we knew and try to decipher meaning… it felt like I was really learning something. And I got so happy when I could listen to it and understand what was being said. Hopefully I can do this for Japanese once I’m a littttlee better!

Thanks for your question, I've stuck with the Italian language maybe just because I like it so much 😂 I think that as you progress in your studies you'll feel more of the joy of understanding what before was just a lot of noise, to continue learning Italian I try to do at least a bit of listening and reading every day, there are days that I consume lots of content and others that I only spend some minutes in contact with the language, I think that is the key to learn a language in several years. Can I recommend you some youtubers, podcasters about the Italian language?

    Usually I listen to music to get comfortable with the sounds of the language and the pronunciation therein. After I've gotten comfortable, I begin to recognise the basic words, basic phrases, and take note of words I don't know and look them up in a dictionary. By the end, the goal is to be comfortable with the entire song, being able to both speak/song it and completely understand it. Also thanks for the recommendation of Lingolia, I'm learning German at the moment, and am also always searching for good Esperanto materials to recommend to learners.
    Kutime mi aŭskultas muzikon por komfortigi min pri la prononcado kaj sonoj de lingvo. Post mi komfortas, mi ekkomprenas bazajn vortoj, bazajn frazojn, mi poste rimarkas vortojn, kiujn mi ne scias, do mi serĉas ilin en vortaro. Je la fino, la celo estas esti komforta pri la tuta kanto kaj nature kompreni ĉion. Ankaŭ, dankon pro la sciigo pri Lingolia, mi lernas la Germanan, kaj ankaŭ ĉiam serĉas bonajn retejojn por Esperanto lernantoj.

    I've been listening to loads of Idan Raichel songs to try and improve my Hebrew. My reason for listening to him over other singers is just cos his songs are really beautiful. The trouble is though, his lyrics are *extremely* poetic, to the extent that they're maybe not actually so great for learning actual spoken Hebrew.
    Still worth it though!

    1. I am studying Swedish right now and use Google Translate heavily. I have no problem with Google Translate. Usually I translate the entire song lyrics with Google Translate, then check the translation adding notes when I don't agree with the translation.
    2. I usually write on a computer instead of using paper and pen. It is much faster to type on a keyboard than writing on paper. It is also much easier to edit on a computer.
    3. I have been translating songs for more than a year now. But now I am shifting to normal texts because songs have a very limited vocabulary.

      - "Ich bin unterwegs" by Phil Collins
      - "Sommer ist für alle da" by Ronny Trettmann
      Look one of them up, maybe it doesn't suck! The Phil Collins song is really interesting, I remember hearing it years ago and being surprised it's Phil Collins. His german pronunciation is 99% on point. I recommend AnnenMayKantereit because their lead singer speaks nearly accent-free high german. If you listen to Seiler und Speer or Hubert von Goisern for example, you'll notice a strong bavarian accent, some words that are mostly used used in Austria etc. it's good music but kind of a mess when it comes to raw language accuracy. The last one is great because there are very few german reggae songs and it's well made, the german lyrics actually sound natural and fit with the song.
      If you tell me what genres you like, I could suggest more. Viel Spaß!

    unfortunately learning through music just doesn't work for me :? I either listen to instrumental stuff, like jazz or minimalism, or shit like black or death metal where you can't really understand a word they're screaming, and the lyrics themselves are so vague and high-register that I barely get them even if I understand the language
    bad luck I guess

      Not making fun, but this comment gave me a laugh 😹 i suppose if most of the music you listen to doesn’t have words or are hard to sing, music isn’t the best method for you … hmm.. poetry maybe? hahaha

    I finally figured out why you're so damned smart, Elysse. You're left-handed!! (This also explains why I'm not nearly as bright as you. Oh well...)

    How long do you normally take to learn a song, like 2 or 3 weeks with each song?

    I learned German through Rammstein songs, but judging by the reactions of people I talk to, it probably wasn't the best choice😂

    I don't want to call the Germans bad singers, but I never dug German music and it's defo never helped me with learning it. I actually kind of envy people learning Romance languages or even Slavic languages (I happen to be a native of one, so I may be biased), cause there's so much great music in those languages. German pop music is especially generic, moreso than even American pop, German rap is cool, but I can't understand them even if I wanted to, the rest is meh.
    PS: I have gone through Rammstein's whole catalogue, I don't recommend it for anyone beyond beginners, but the songs are cool ^_^

    Writing it out!? 😵‍💫 Doesn’t seem like a great use of time to me. Also, I for some reason am not interested in translating a song I like in the songs I’m learning. Isn’t the enjoyment of it that it’s not in English? I don’t quite get the inclination to translate it. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I just look up the words I don’t know and enjoy the song.

    Learning a language through songs is a very bad way.
    Songs block part of the brain and distract the person who is learning the language
