Is your Spanish progress slow because you’re learning in a way that’s boring, ineffective, or culturally irrelevant? In this episode, Desta Haile from Languages through Music shares lessons from her 15 years of experience as a language teacher and musician. She talks about how she found herself still uncomfortable speaking French after more than a decade of formal classes, and how music helped to finally get her words flowing.
She’s since used this technique for both herself and her students to learn and teach Spanish, Portuguese, and other languages. We hope this conversation with Desta inspires you to find a learning method that works for you.
