LaMaestra Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Naughty person, Iff! I agree that being a fan of someone whose native language is not your own is a good way to learn the language. I am a massive fan of the Swedish rock musician Tomas Ledin (it is he on my avatar) and I have picked up some of the language from him. Also hearing the lyrics helps you with the pronunciation. No shame in being a Shakira fan, one's personal taste is one's own business. http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/336/F1EA2B321DC102B2219823FC8661930E.png Quote Link to post Share on other sites
