Improve your foreign language listening skill through music lyrics

In the process of learning a new language, each of us can have different difficulties, smaller or bigger. The ability to listen to a different set of sounds is quite often one of the most common issue each of us need to face.

The website Lyrics Training offer the possibility to improve your listening skill through music. The task is to complete the lyrics of the songs, while listening to them. The database include different languages, like English, Spanish, German, but also Italian, and different levels. Listening to music songs is certainly more difficult than to listen to dialogues, but usually it is also way more worth, because it really sharpen your abilities. Listening to songs, and not just to pre-formatted dialogues can also be great to learn slang common expressions one wouldn't be able to find on textbooks or cultural aspects. Not to mention it's a lot more fun!

Deal of the month

For the whole month of March, if you have an Iphone or an Ipod touch, it is possible to get for free a flash card application. Flashcard Touch App, which usually comes for 3$, until the 31st of March will be free.

I have not personally tested this application, so I can not recommend it, but since it comes for free you can try it yourself, which is always the best solution, since each learner has his/her own learning style.
