Earworms? Squirming into my memory bank? I should have known this in college (I'll hum all bullet points of the dates in history).

I never knew those songs that got stuck in my head had a name, and that this could help me remember a language.

Hi - It's pretty cool how the songs you learn in school help you remember things, isn't it? Languages are a great example, but other things too - I still remember grade school songs about science and geography too.

Hi,

I love music and to use music to help you learn a different language is brilliant.

You found something I am so passionate about! Music and language! I absolutely believe in the power of music to learn and memorize not only words but specific grammatical songs. High school French for me was about 6 years ago, and yet I still remember some of the "silly songs" our professors made up to help us remember and learn some of the rules for sentence order, possessiveness, male/female genders of day-to-day-items, and more. I've been meaning to brush up on my language, so I'm going to have to check this out!
