【Learn Chinese】5 Popular Songs To Learn Chinese
 
Learning a foreign language sometimes devolves into memorizing new words and reciting textbook passages. However, it does not always have to be the case. Learning Chinese through songs is a fun method that intermixes language and culture. You not only learn authentic Chinese through the lyrics plus the song itself may serve as an icebreaker.
