Our parents listened to these songs everywhere, whether at home on a sunday afternoon or on the road to vacations. They will always remain in our memories.

Singing forces you to pronounce the words correctly, since we want to imitate the tone and pronunciation of the artist. We may not have talent, but our pronunciation will be better.

Another advantage is that singing aloud we increase our confidence, very useful if we are embarrassed to speak in French with native people. And if you suddenly get the words, singing is a very good method to remember them and put them in context. You will see that the next time you hear some of the words you learned singing, you will understand exactly what is being said.
