Music - Singing to learn a language

Most memory masters will tell you rhythm will help you remember. Further learning a language with music is an excellent method to learn a language, for other reason besides just rhythm, that is, your brain is all about connections and music can open closed gates in your brain. I am writing a program which uses music to teach language in a specific way, mp3 language learning. If you do not believe me that music is a great way to learn a language, try taking a popular song you hear on the radio, or an old one that you have in your brain like, “Some where over the rainbow” . It is should be a musical melody that is almost stuck in your head. Now sing it in your target language. I am not talking about the the orgigincal lyrics of the song or even the lyrics in transalation, but sing any sentence in your target foreign language. For example, open up the bible and sing a verse in your target language with this tune. Monks would chant all the 150 Psalms by memory. It does not matter. You can try to sing a typical dialogue in your target language, such as “meeting and greetings”. But if you can connect the rhythm of the song to the foreign words and phrases you are trying to learn, the words in your target language will go in easier. You might even try to compose your own lyrics to the song you are signing. Music will get you to remember the words you need to learn a language.
