This video is about learning language through music and how it can help the survival of dying languages such as Ladino Spanish. This woman talks about how music is one of the best ways to learn languages because music connects with you emotionally, and activates more areas in your brain.
I can relate to this, although not with the dying languages so much but to the fact that music helps teach language. I know so many phrases in Spanish, Swedish, Japanese and Korean just from listening to songs from those countries. Its insanely helpful. And if it works for major languages, why wouldn't it work for dying ones as well?
So here is the video.

Enjoy!
Sooo... That's awkward. I used the same video! Hahahaha! I guess that's what I get for not reading your blog first! Isn't her singing pretty though!? I always wanted to be able to speak some of the dead languages (partly so that I could complain about people without them knowing). It's sad though how many languages are dying though...
