Yesterday I mentioned that listening to music can be a good way to learn Spanish. I have been listening to Shakira's first greatest hits album (which came out before a lot of the hits she is currently known for). To be honest, this isn't the type of music I would normally listen to, but Shakira has a great voice, the music is full of latin passion and I get to learn some Spanish as well. Some of the songs are Spanish versions of hits you will have heard in English, others are in a more latin dancing style that you might here in clubs across South America.
The album is pretty cheap these days, as it has been around for a while. You can find it on Amazon UK
, Amazon US
or your usual download store. Where else would you learn a phrase like - Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños, y no los confundas con montañas
(Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains)
Okay, that isn't quite an exact translation, but it's close enough and it's how it was translated for the English version of the song.
