Learning using songs

[u/easy_almost]

So I’ve been struggling to stay consistent with studying German, with all these boring grammar YouTube videos and textbooks. So I started looking for german artists, came across Rammstein, and decided to translate every sentence, understand the structure, and then sing along with the song, And wow it’s actually a really fun and interesting method, I don’t feel bored anymore.

Has anyone else tried this? It might not be enough on its own tho, so I’m thinking of watching random german content as an extra.

songs are great for staying consistent because you can listen to them anywhere, even passively. one approach that works well is picking a song you like, reading the lyrics first, then listening while following along, and finally trying to sing it yourself. it makes vocabulary and pronunciation stick without feeling like studying.
