Does everyone agree that the best way to learn the phonetics of a language is to sing along with songs in that language?
lol..i find it very usefull and fun! Now, thanks to Nightwish and Indica, i can pronounce and sort of read in finnish, although i have absolutely no idea what i'm saying...
Also, singing along in french helps me learn it better and improve my pronounciation...
anyone else feel this way??

Die Artz has helped my pronounciation in German alot. You get to hear native speakers talking and you get a feel for the language from singing along. And I've picked up some words.

Yesyes!
I too have learned some Finnish through Nightwish and Indica!
The first song I actually learned how to sing in Finnish was
Uniklubi - Huomenna.
Then I think it was Nightwish's "kuolema tekee taiteilijan"
=)
I see you are a fan of Nightwish as well.

I listen a lot to music in the languages i wish to learn and it really helps the pronounciation of words and of course you learn new ones.

apiyo Die Artz has helped my pronounciation in German alot. You get to hear native speakers talking and you get a feel for the language from singing along. And I've picked up some words. (aka. Die Beste Band Der Welt, and not without reason) are truly the best band ever and I am forever finding bits and pieces from their live shows and interviews on video that I want to show people, and then I realise, oh wait they won't understand! It's quite depressing. They're not in a foreign language for me though. Songs that are in a foreign language, well sometimes I go through the lyrics of a song and teach myself the words, and of course always check what the lyrics mean, because if you don't know the language well enough you never know what you're singing about! In fact, this advert springs to mind: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dE7e6vkrHa8 (it's been posted in this guild somewhere before)

I agree, listening to songs in different languages helps a lot (even though it is a little bit harder to learn the words). I listen to a lot of Latina/o artists and it helps me pronounce my words better.

I have two KYO CDs (French), and it really helps comprehension with native speakers speaking the language. There are some things you don't get in music, because words and such are drawn out and made to rhyme sometimes, but it still helps, especially if you have the lyrics in front of you to follow along.
The summer before I started my German class, I listened to Tokio Hotel (yeah, I know), and when I got to the class, I already knew more than the rest of the people. It helps a lot. I took a year off from French to take German, and the only exposure to French I got for most of the year was through KYO.
Chikiya: OMG, that video. rofl

I know a lot of Japanese songs (most from anime) and quite a few Spanish songs as well. I know some Ayumi Hamasaki songs, but now I'm really into Ali Project. I have a bit of Judy and Mary as well.
As for Spanish, I have a bit of Joan Baez, but most of the music I know is by Juanes. He's an amazing musician.
Japanese lyrics are especially fun to learn, because I like to buy imported CDs and transcribe (and sometimes translate) the lyrics myself.

My friend posted a Torchwood fan video set to The WiseGuy's "Relitiv".
(German) with English subs and aside from getting the song stuck in my head I got obsessed with learning the words.
thanks to it I will probably never forget the words for,
"I am relatively smart when compared to Heidi Klum" xd
one of my goals for 2009 is to sing (Korean superstar) Rain's "In my bed" in Korean.
mostly cause I really like the song and it would be nice to be able to sing along.

I would say so. I'm studying Japanese and I listen to tons of Japanese music, and from one song I learnt how to pronounce "fu" and "r" in Japanese like a goddess. heart
