A Song in Spanish and English

Listen to the artist singing the song in Spanish first.

How much of it did you understand?
Write down a few words or phrases.
Try to translate the title, "Espejos Azules."



Then listen to the same song in English.

Notice the accent of the singer as he sings in English.
If you understood it, that means you have exposure to
people with accents or have heard accents before.

If you didn't understand the words, try listening again
until you begin to discriminate the sounds and words
to your ears.

How did the speed in which the song was sung affect
your understanding?

Ask yourself more questions like this until you begin to grasp
difficulties and strengths in your individual efforts to pick
up the Spanish language.

If you like the artist, Pablo Ruiz, look him up on the internet.
His songs are on You Tube!

(***I found a remix of this song as well. So I will post that when I can.)
