If you wanna know how to learn Spanish fast, you can use something really fun, such as music! Lets learn the lyrics to this mega popular song, “Vivir mi vida“(Live my life) by Marc Anthony. This is something I do every so often with my customers and subscribers. I’ll introduce a Spanish song. Get the song from YouTube and create a slower version of it.

I’ll also get them a chance to download a document in English and Spanish side by side containing the lyrics. Viewing written content side by side is really effective when you are learning Spanish, even songs.

This PDF document is just like the ones you get in those crazy Gritty Spanish stories.

I always talk about how Spanish music “Saved me”. It kept me interested in learning Spanish…

Now this song,”Vivir mi vida” by Marc Anthony, I never listened to it and analyzed the lyrics, because I always heard it in public settings, like a bar or a club. When I hear music in such a settings, I will not know the lyrics, unless I know the song. Same as English songs… BUT I’ll recognize it and just know how it flows.

I don’t analyze lyrics when I am in a social environment, even English songs.

I never had the chance to sit down at home and actually listen and read the words, until recently. Now I am able to sing along when I hear it. One of the most rewarding feelings when learning Spanish is when you listen to something for the first time, don’t understand anything at all, and later you understand a great percentage of what’s being said…

This song by Marc Anthony is an excellent, ‘feel good‘ song, no doubt about it! One of the greatest Salsa songs ever.

I am sure you’ll add this your Spanish learning collection and it will become an all-time favorite.

Here it is, in the normal speed version and also the slower version, 30% slower, in fact! Enjoy it!
