HISTORY
The Spanish language was developed from vulgar Latin, with influence from Celtiberian Peninsula. From the 16th century on, the language was brought to the Americas, Federal States of Micronesia, Guam, Marianas, Palau and the Philippines, via Spanish colonization.
DO YOU KNOW THE TUNE?
There is a tune in every language regardless of whether it is French, Chinese, German or Spanish. The reason why some can speak a foreign language with a native accent is solely because they have learnt to hum the tune of the language. Living in a Spanish-speaking environment can help one to get accustomed to the tune faster. However, not everybody has the privilege of living in a foreign country.
The good news is you still can do it regardless. There are inexpensive ways to help you master the tune. Check out the resources below.
Speaking of tunes, let us introduce you to some nice SPANISH SONGS by Marcos Witt and Jesús Adrian Romero. Listen to them while you work :) We are sure you will enjoy them. Click on the underlined song titles below.
1)Gracias (Thank You).
2)Quiero Cantar Una Linda Canción (I Want To Sing A Beautiful Song). This song comes with an excellent display of the Spanish guitar.
3)Aquí Estoy Yo (Here I Am).
4)Te Veo (I See You).
