For those of you who have been inspired to learn a new language as a result of listening to songs in a different language this article just goes to show that this is a legitimate way that everyone can learn languages. Music can create that possibility. A music therapy plug is imminent.

*Ahem* Continuing on. An article by the Guardian discussed why it is possible for musicians to have an easier time learning new languages. Below is a direct quote from that article.

“When children start studying music before the age of seven, they develop bigger vocabularies, a better sense of grammar and a higher verbal IQ. These advantages benefit both the development of their mother tongue and the learning of foreign languages. During these crucial years, the brain is at its sensitive development phase, with 95% of the brain’s growth occurring now. Music training started during this period also boosts the brain’s ability to process subtle differences between sounds and assist in the pronunciation of languages – and this gift lasts for life, as it has been found that adults who had musical training in childhood still retain this ability to learn foreign languages quicker and more efficiently than adults who did not have early childhood music training.

Humans first started creating music 500,000 years ago, yet speech and language was only developed 200,000 years ago. Evolutionary evidence, as interpreted by leading researchers such as Robin Dunbar from Oxford University, indicates that speech as a form of communication has evolved from our original development and use of music. This explains why our music and language neural networks have significant overlap, and why children who learn music become better at learning the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of any language.”

Various research projects have been created to discover what it is about music that makes language learning so much easier. I won’t go into extensive detail about all that they did in the research (though I’d be happy to discuss it with anyone who does read the article!) But suffice it to say that oftentimes when learning a new language it is difficult to pick up on the nuances of the language. To understand the syllables and where the words end and begin. I think of when I first started listening to EXO and trying to sing along. It helped to see the words obviously but it helped even more so to hear them sing the words to understand the form of the word and how it fit into a phrase. In the study researchers found that it was much easier for listeners in their study to discern more words when they were sung versus when they were simply spoken. Neato, huh?

Anyway, I mentioned a music therapy plug earlier because I am a board certified music therapist whose main client base is often children with certain developmental needs who need help with comprehending and communicating their own native language. (Receptive and expressive language.) Seeing this article and reading about the research reaffirms that what I'm doing with my kiddos can benefit them in the future and that I need to encourage them to stick with it!
