Learn Italian with songs!
Here is a list of over 60 new exercises and activities published on AdGblog in the past few years in order to learn and improve the Italian language through Italian songs. All the posts have been sorted into 3 main level of knowledge of the language (according to the European common framework of reference of language learning and teaching) and have been tested in various classes of Italian for foreigners through the years at Accademia del Giglio. Many of the exercises try to put into practice the CLIL method and each of them display the subject which they focus on (tenses, prepositions, vocabulary, etc.).
The posts are listed in alphabetical order following the name of the singer.
