Singing a Song Improves Pronunciation
Perhaps you’ll notice that your accent is less noticeable when you sing a foreign language than when you speak it. That’s because the rhythm of the music makes it easier to articulate the words, and helps develop a proper pronunciation.
Listening To Music Will Improve Your Comprehension Of The Language
According to Dave Munger’s Cognitive Daily article, the very first thing you have to figure out when you learn a new language is where the words begin and end. That step not only is the first, but also the hardest. Adding melody and pitch to speech can help make that step easier; Music makes the words more differentiable from one another.
Last But Not Least: Music Is Fun
Maybe that one sums it all. Of course all those scientific explanations of why music is a powerful learning tool are valuable. But, come to think of it, maybe all of music’s power relies on the fact that music is fun, entertaining and emotionally stimulating. By boosting morale and motivation, music has the power to make tasks seem effortless.
