Learn French Through Music: 40 French Songs to Sing Along With 蜜桃传媒 Paris
Looking for a fun way to learn French? At 蜜桃传媒, our French school in the heart of Paris, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, we believe that learning French should be both effective and genuinely enjoyable.
This is why we’ve put together a playlist of French songs, including some of the most famous ones out there. Whether you’re a fan of Piaf, Trenet, Higelin, Lavilliers, Gainsbourg, Barbara or Goldman, our music selection will help you improve your French while having fun, singing along and learning the lyrics as you go.
Why learn French through music?
Listening to music is a particularly effective form of language immersion: it encourages you to discover and memorise new vocabulary and improves your listening comprehension.
Listening is great, really great, but repeating song lyrics (and singing along with the artist!) really helps with your pronunciation without you even noticing. In almost all of the video clips below, the lyrics are shown karaoke-style, but you’ll always hear the original singer performing the song.
