Can you Learn Greek by Listening to Music?
“Από τραγούδια λαϊκά έμαθα τα ελληνικά” means “I learned Greek from folk and popular songs,” and is from lyricist Sotia Tsotou. The quote was popularized by Stelios Kazantzidis in his song ‘Εγώ είμαι πρόσφυγα παιδί’. But is that really possible to learn Greek by listening to music? Yes, listening to music can help learn languages because melody and repetition in music makes it easier to remember words and phrases, but a real language class is necessary to learn grammar.
