    Song lyrics are difficult (for me). I have difficulty understanding song lyrics even in my native language sometimes.

      Fair enough! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have specified that this is an online approach. It includes finding them, reading them and having a dictionary for translating them. Then, at some point, you learn them by heart. Also, I don’t think that just doing this is enough, but it somehow speeds up the initial process, especially for speaking.

        Yeah! Songs are a good addition to learning activities. You learn several words deeply, with great repetition, and it’s fun.

        But I agree you need to be looking at lyrics and using a dictionary. It can be too easy to just listen to songs as music, and not get any language-learning out of it.

      Any nowadays there’s so much slang and fake words thrown in that it’s probably more harmful then good when learning languages. At least with current music anyways.
