Learning Italian with Music: Phrases I understood

Dear reader,

(If you are learning/ teaching Spanish, scroll all the way to the end of this post for my Spanish lesson)

Learning a foreign language by listening to music is both enjoyable and effective. By regularly exposing your ears to the sounds and rhythms of the language, you train yourself to recognize its unique patterns. Start by focusing on familiar words and phrases—this helps you connect the lyrics to meanings you already know. As you listen, you’ll naturally pick up new vocabulary, and recognizing recurring phrases can build your fluency. Music also helps with pronunciation and intonation, as you hear native speakers or singers using the language in a fluid, natural way. Repeating this process deepens your understanding and brings the language to life in a fun and engaging way.

Note: I already knew a little, tiny bit of Italian when I started this, also Spanish is my first language:

Learning Italian is easier for me because I am a Spanish speaker because both Italian and Spanish are Romance languages, which share a common Latin origin. This results in similar grammar structures, vocabulary, and sentence patterns between the two languages. For example, words in Italian often resemble their Spanish equivalents in both spelling and meaning, like “amore” (Italian) and “amor” (Spanish), or “buono” (Italian) and “bueno” (Spanish).

Additionally, both languages have similar verb conjugation patterns and gendered nouns, making it easier for Spanish speakers to understand and apply the rules.

In contrast, English, which comes from a Germanic root, has a different grammatical structure, lacks gendered nouns, and has less in common with Romance languages, making Italian more difficult. Spanish speakers might find the transition to Italian smoother and faster.

English is my second language and it was not easy to learn, it was very different. I might have had a faster learning experience if I would have larned Italian, that said, I had no reason to learn Italian.

On top of my Spanish, I study Latin, so my Italian journey is a bit easier. That being said, I am not special! Yo ucn do what I do as well. I am simply explaining that I had a good base for Italian.

I think anyone can benefit from listening to music i n the language they are learning, even if they can not tell. So stick with it and like I always say:

Do not judge your learning and do not compare yourself.

Phrases I understood in Italian songs:

Ma tutto bene: But everything is good

Per favore non piangere: Please do not cry

Tu mi hai insegnato la differenza: You have taught me the difference

Solo una stupida canzone: Just a silly song

Grazie per la inspiracione: Thank you for the inspiration
