🎧 Article length: about 1 minute

If you’re learning Spanish, one of the best ways to train your ear is by listening to Spanish music—and what better artist to start with than Shakira?

Her album “Grandes Éxitos” (which means “Greatest Hits”) is, in my opinion, one of the most amazing albums ever created in the history of all things. 🌎✨

Why Shakira’s music helps you learn Spanish

Shakira’s songs are perfect for Spanish learners because:

She sings clearly, even when she sings fast.
Her lyrics are full of useful vocabulary and expressions.
✅ Listening helps you get used to real Spanish pronunciation.

Her songs tell stories, making words easier to remember.

If you search for the lyrics on Google, you can follow along as she sings. At first, it might be tricky because she sings quickly, and some words blend together, but don’t worry! The more you listen, the more your brain will start recognizing individual words and phrases.
