About this blog

Aprende Cantando is mainly a blog for my students so they can get a feel of the richness and the varied types of music across the Spanish-speaking world. There are 21 nations where Spanish is the national language. The United States has now more Spanish-speakers than in Spain alone. I don't post top hits necessarily. I choose songs that are  easy to singing, or have good lyrics or there's something that is helpful for learning the language. Ocasionally I post songs in French, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan because I am close to romance languages.  

Useful tips:
    • Songs are an excellent teaching resource.
    • Singing will improve your speaking fluency.
    • It will help you to master 'difficult sounds'.
    • You will learn new vocabulary and idiomatic expressions.
    • You can also practice verbs tenses: past, present and future.
    • I update this blog periodically.
