Learning Spanish Through Full Immersion
(2) I got the idea to try the singing method to learning pronunciation after watching some vids of TEFL teachers teaching English to Chinese kids by having them sing songs in English in class.
I am really excited about learning tagalog now! At first it felt like a insurmountable mountain I was going to have to climb and struggle with. Now, it is fun!
Your vids also are a real help to me, as well. Thank you!

(1) I agree with you that listening is an important first step. I have found that combining listening and singing help tremendously with pronunciation. I have had trouble pronouncing tagalog words and my fiance is always getting a laugh from my attempts. I started listening and singing along to the song “Ikaw na nga” by Willie Revallime. I learned the words and pronunciation and sang the song to her. She was shocked and pleased with my pronunciation, and gave me a 10 in pronunciation!

Rocket Spanish Review
You’re right, lessons always focus on reading and writing, and on grammar before vocab. I use songs to get a feel for a language, I may be wrong but it seems like people exagerate the different sounds when they sing, making it easier to imitate?
