Improve Your Spanish Comprehension — With Music!
September 25th, 2009 No Comments
And here’s a really good way to hear better — Music. Most music is slower than speech. Things are repeated (like the chorus, for instance) and you can play it over and over without getting tired of it so quickly. It’s measured, more rythmic and you can sing along with it.

SpanishPod101.com - Online Lessons - A Review
August 27th, 2009 No Comments
