The Best of 2021: French Music on Spotify

Learn French through music with some of 2021's biggest hits

Arguably one of the most enjoyable ways to enrich your learning of a language is through music. And regardless of your taste, there's something for everyone. 

Forget flashcards - music provides a fast and easy way to memorise vocabulary, master French grammar and learn authentic phrases. Singing along helps strengthen your facial muscles, while playing songs on repeat can help fine-tune your ear to overcome the difficulty of understanding spoken French.

Using tools such as Lyrics Training, learners of all levels can practice with recall activities that are pitched at just the right level. 

So whether you're learning French in class, at home, online or on your own, here's a selection of top hits from France over this past year.
