The Unexpected Benefits of Learning Chinese Kids’ Songs

But even if you’re still convinced you’ll never encounter a Chinese-speaking child, you still might not want to pass these songs by completely.

Kids’ songs will stick in your brain. After all, kids’ songs are fun. They’re catchy. This makes for a memorable learning experience that’ll keep Chinese words glued to your brain with colors, rhymes and melodies, long after the song has finished playing.

You’ll have fun! The sunshine, smiles and animated dancing animals can brighten up a long study session. The words typically get highlighted at the bottom of the screen, KTV style.

They help you achieve a diverse learning experience. If your language learning experiences so far are limited to the classroom, you’re almost guaranteed to pick up some new vocabulary. Do you know what a preschool is called in Chinese? Or how to describe a well-behaved child? For that matter, do you know which verb to use to talk about pulling up a radish? If not, you’re in the right place.

Kids’ songs are made for kids. Okay, that sounds obvious. But you should really think about this point. These songs are made for newcomers to the Chinese language. The language level won’t ever be too challenging, and they’re written in a way that kids’ brains will happily absorb and digest more complex concepts and linguistic elements. That means you’ll learn tons without even realizing it!

They’ll introduce you to Chinese culture. You know that English kids’ songs are always talking about life lessons, respecting people, family ideas, morality, sharing, caring and so on. By listening to what children are singing, you’ll learn which values Chinese culture deems most important to instill in their people from a young age.
