December is Learn a Foreign Language Month! Learning a new language comes with a wealth of benefits, including understanding different cultures and improving memory. Plus, you get to talk to more people!

Luckily, music crosses cultural boundaries. Songs are sung and lyrics are written in every language, and rhythm translates to all.

Let’s celebrate the month with a playlist of songs with lyrics in languages other than English, and travel across the globe with music!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs with some (or all!) lyrics in different languages would you like to hear?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
