【Learn Chinese】Learn Chinese with Songs
 
If you've ever wanted to learn Chinese with songs but found it too challenging, this lesson is for you. Today, we're going to dive into the world of music and discover how to learn Chinese with songs!
 
1. Choose a song that you like
It’s good if the song is simple and the pronunciation is clear. But the most important thing is that you like the song and that you have the lyrics. Now that we have a song, let’s move to step two:
 
2. Listen to the song without looking at the lyrics.
You can listen to the whole song or focus on one part at a time. After listening a few times… And maybe understanding a few words: It’s time for step 3.
 
3. Listen to the song while following along with the lyrics.
This step gives you a chance to compare what you heard… to what they were actually singing. Now, if you have the English translation, listen again while reading the translation.
But what if I don’t have the English translation or pinyin? Just copy and paste the lyrics into a translation tool.

4. Analyze the language.

5. Speak the lyrics out loud.
This step is for practicing pronunciation. After speaking the lyrics out loud…   
 
6. Sing along.
It's Karaoke time. Sing along. If you can make a personal connection with the words, you’ll remember them more easily. And that brings us to the final step.
 
7. Practice & use new words from the song
You can add useful words & phrases to vocabulary lists or flashcards. And try to use them in conversation to really make the most of what you’ve learned!
