Language is not an impediment. Music is a language all on its own.

I usually like them because they intrigue me and I wonder shat the singer is saying.

Music is universal. I'm an Indian, and I love Spanish, Portuguese and Korean songs. They let me appreciate music for what it is.

It’s a very efficient and cool way to learn a new language, but I don’t usually listen to it (only in English).

Songs in foreign languages are a beautiful exploration of diverse cultures. They offer a chance to appreciate the universality of emotions conveyed through music, transcending linguistic barriers. It's a captivating journey into different expressions of artistry.

I really enjoy songs in German and german bands. Along with some french songs. They have a nice tone to them.

I've heard songs in Spanish, French, Korean, and several African languages. As long as the music is good I'll listen to it.

I think music has no language. When one listen to a good music, no matter the language it is written in, you will vibe to it.

I think music in a foreign language is not a big deal.This is because music is a universal language.For example many of the older generation likes Rhumba music which is sung in Lingala and the ghetto youth like riddim vibes,which is mainly sung in jamaican patois.If you asked majority of what they are singing,you will be surprised that majority of them don't even know.

A song with a good melody is great no matter the language it is sung in. I enjoy music from all over the world. I find it brings me closer to different countries, peoples and cultures. Music has no barriers, it's a joy that it can be understood by people around the globe.

Songs with either Spanish or Italian words can be very beautiful to listen to. Even though I may only recognize the meaning of a few words, that does not take away from enjoying the sound. I think the Spanish and Italian languages have a musical and melodious quality to the words by themselves. Maybe that's why I think songs sung in these languages just seem to have much expression and passion.
