Is singing an effective way to learn a language?

Answer 1

There are many studies that show that songs can help to learn a language. THere are many songs/CD's made for the language learner. My students find it helpful and you can hear them humming sometimes when they are trying to recall a word.
We sometimes even make up songs if we are having a hard time remembering something. It helps many people, but it does depend on the type of learner you are.

Answer 2

For many it is - particularly if you're adept at music; if it's something you tune into well. For many, music is a memory enhancer and does a lot for the positive emotional state of the learner (which also enhances learning).
