“Once you embody it, once you’re producing it in song, it really improves pronunciation, confidence, memory.” Desta Haile

Listening to music isn’t just an enjoyable way of learning a new language, it can also teach you so much about culture, about politics and about the words people are really using.

Desta runs the Languages Through Music programme, bringing two decades of experience to help her students make music an effective and intentional part of their learning. And in this episode, she shares her top tips.
