ya i like to listen songs of different languages.I generally listen English and Hindi songs,but i love to listen Arabic songs. when i listen Arabic songs i feel out of this world,arabic songs are simply great.In english I like to listen linkin park,i am a great fan of him. [rehan_andaman]

I like to listen especially Spanish language songs so even i don't understand but i can feel the meaning of the song, Even i like Hindi songs,my mother language songs too and every time i like to listen most of the time. what are the best songs in Hindi? [Dasari100]
I think 'Kuch Kuch Ho ta hai' is most popular Hindi songs blush [srikandi19]
Well there are Latin Chants that my brother listens to because it's very relaxing and puts you in a meditative mood. There was also a time when Taiwanese, and Korean songs invaded our music world because of the entry of Asian Soap operas into our country. Some melodies actually sound great but we just don't understand the words. Actually, listening to Foreign Languages does sound funny sometimes. Like someone talking nonsense only because we really don't understand. It's probably that way too for a foreigner to listen to our own language. [Theresaaiza]
Yups .. listening foreign songs is fun although we don't know the means. But we can learning ( little ) different Language from that. [srikandi19]
English songs are still the best to me, follwed by my cherished korean songs, it's because i like to watch korean dramas and my songs are mostly soundtracks of the dramas or movies. I love some of the korean voices, some of them have really great voices....I don't usually listen to the lyrics so i'll just listen to the song as a whole and if it is nice then i'll just continue listening to them...^_^ [mira91]
I like foreign languages and I admit that I like listening to some foreign songs. I am very fluent in English and my native language Tagalog. I seldom listen to Tagalog songs as I find it boring and nonsense most of the time. I listening and singing English songs. I can also understand a little bit of other languages like Japanese, Spanish, French and German. I also like listening to songs from these foreign languages even I only understand some of part of it. I don't know why and can't really explain it but thats the way I am. [sophie_dfuss]
I just can English passive, so I like listening English Songs and would improve my vocabulary. [srikandi19]
I speak both English and Korean and am currently learning Spanish at school. I like listening to American rock, rap, and pop songs while I like to listen to Korean pop (K-pop) ballad, and R&B songs. I find songs a great and fun way to learn Spanish as well because the good ones have a really catchy tune to it that makes it addicting. So yes, I like listening songs of different languages. [snam23]
I am never hear Korean Pop, in my country Japan Pop (J-Pop) more be popular. [srikandi19]
i do actually. i have 2 nieces that are chinese and i like to listen to their music. my hubby is german so i have listened to many german songs in the past (i especially like their christmas music! i also live in canada and we have two official languages here, french and english. i am english but i love to listen to french songs becuase i can understand some of it and i want to learn more french. [cher913]
Our language is called Filipino, but I really enjoy listening to english, chinese, japanese songs... I also love some Korean songs... ^_^ [jd107nette]
i love to listen a lot of songs though if they are not from my mother language. i am from southern part of india. My mother tongue is tamil. but i love to listen to a lots of hindi songs and english songs as well. as of me music has no barriers [vinkam]
I'm an American, and I only speak English. But I like some songs in German, Tagalog, Spanish. I've often wondered about French music, but I haven't found anywhere to listen to French pop. I also like some J-Pop. [skeeter_fleet]
i like english songs and some times bagali song although i dont understand but......few words i know bagali. [success_kushagra]
Personally, I love listening to all kinds of music, regardless of the languages it is written in. I especially love listening to music of languages that are other than English, in addition to listening to music that is written in English. I believe that music is beautiful no matter what language it is written in. [Keola12]
haha.. I did start such a post before too.. hehe ^_^ well, i do listen to songs of different languages too because some songs actually sounds nicer in that particular language, instead of it bing in english or chinese.. lol =D I do listen to malay songs, jap as well as korean songs.. Though i dun really understand their lyrics, but i like the melody and tune in them ^_^ Thai songs are nice too, especially by male singers ^_^ [kun2349]
My first priority is chinese music. Though i don't understand what they are singing, it's the melody that captures me. I love listening to the tune. It's only when It take time to really sit down and analyze the piece that I realize what a meaningful song it is. Second, i would listen to english music. I like more of those ballad type music. It's very soothing and relaxing and I could understand it which is a plus. Then i would go for Korean music. Even though I don't understand it, i feel like I could just feel it. I like exploring other music too. But these three languages are my tops. Music is my life and it is my passion. Keeping listening and singing! [mzj033y]
I like to listen Canton and English songs, I used to not understand the english songs so I looked up the lyrics and learned. Mandarin songs are fine but I won't particular choose it to listen. I don't like other languages at all besides these three languages. [mermaidivy]
I really don't like listening to songs that I don't understand, but I speak english, spanish and portuguese, so that's what I listen to. Sometimes I listen to stuff that I don't understand because I like the sound of it. There are some songs from India that are fun, I like listening to them, and I have some Japanese, Chinese and philipino friends and they have music player on their blogs so I'm forced to listen to it, some are good but some are weird... [x0xpinkyx0x]
hahah, actually I don't really like songs in other languages. I speak English, its my first and only fluent language. I do like some Spanish and Korean songs though :) just the catchy ones. but I definitely prefer just straight up English. if I can understand it, I find that the song means more. I mean, even if I'm listening to a Spanish song, I often know the words and meanings in English, but it doesnt mean as much when I'm listening to it. and I looove songs with meanings =P so other languages aren't really my thing when it comes to music. no offense to other cultures and everything, like their music is good and I respect it, but I just don't so much like listening to it. (: peace ! [cassyisme]
Good Question, and yes I like music in Italian,Spanish and Japanese. I think we all benefit from experiencing other cultures. [acekala]
I love to listen to music in different languages and I often listen to music in languages that I don't understand. I collect music from a lot of different countries and whenever I visit a new country I buy some cds, because I want to get to know some of the local singers/bands. My friends from other countries also send me music sometimes and I am always really excited to get some new music. I have music from Estonia, Latvia, Poland, the Czech republic, Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam etc. [Porcospino]
Yes, I like listening songs of foreign languages. When I Travel to countries in different parts of the world, I always listen to the songs in the language of the country. That is an excellent way of getting familiar with the culture and the language. In fact, I have a collection of CD's now. [greenline]
No, I don't like to listen to a song in the language I can not understand... like the Italian, Spanish or other languages? I don't like to listen to it. What's the use of listening when I don't understand it? [Bebs08]
i don't listen to songs that i can't understand what they are saying i can't enjoy the music that way lol well, i guess it depends on the song but still i prefer being able to know what the lyrics are in the music and being able to understand them. [sameroad]
I love this Korean song,even if I can't understand the lyrics I was able to understand the meaning when I watched its MTV and saw the translation.Until now I still listen to it and it still makes we ache inside. [angel_rain]
I am a Chinese, but I enjoy listening to English songs. Occasionally I also listen to French songs. I don't care what language it will be. As long as it's a good song, it doesn't matter even if I don't understand the language. The music should have no border:) I love China [youless]
I do, actually. I like listening to songs from places like Iceland. I like listening to native american songs (despite my heritage, I don't understand the words in them), Japanese pop and rock has habits of getting under my skin. You don't have to understand it, to like it. [xParanoiax]
I do like to all the different musical beats and rhythms in a different language song. Even though I can't understand them. Sometimes the songs have subtitles which are useful.. [chunijole]
Yes, I do. I love litening to Arabic music. And Indian music, too. They have this different tunes that can make your hips and your body bump. happy [hornetlover]
I like listening English song too, my English is not very good, so I listen the song to improve my English, and I also like the Chinese songs. [kindy198636]
Yes, I do like listening to songs of different languages. One thing is always said about music in my Country: "Music has no Language!" This is what I believe in. I love songs for the melody, for the music, for the strength and soothening effect it carries with it! I do listen to songs in Hindi, English, Regional Languages of India, Chinese etc. The criteria is, it should taste sweet to my ears! [amitksing]
Hi, Me too like listening English songs but not every category i like only Melodious english , other brands i feel bore because those songs are very fast and furious, I use to TITANIC Title songs listen very much ....it gives immense pleasure and Happiness to my brain..... [accessranganath]
Yes, I like listening songs of different language. I love English songs, Korean Songs and Chinese Songs. Most of the foreign songs comes from a movie and tv soundtrack.And then when I research the songs on You Tube, the learning of the songs from foreign country grow and grow. [grecychunny26]
althought I can't make sense about the lyric,but the music give different feeling.throught it ,I feel as if I go abroad.there is so much country in this world.so different culture has different music [guozehua]
Yes i do but it really depends on the type of music. If it's metal then i guess i can listen to them all day without really trying to understand what the band are saying. I like foreign bands like Rammstein and some Norwegian bands. I like Rammstein because of the ambient of their song. Even though i don't understand what they are saying, but it feels to me like i can relate no matter what. Though i need to at least know the theme of the music at least. Black metal bands doesn't necessarily be n English because the lyrics are mostly inaudible. [modstar]
I like listening songs of a different language especially if it's one I don't know simply because most lyrics are crappy and generic, like "I'll love you forever baby". Listening to Foreign Language songs allows me to appreciate the music while blocking out the lyrics. [saffrondreams]
I'm an avid fan of Anime OST. the lyrics is in Japanese. But I still feel the melody of it even though I can't understand it. Specially the songs from Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru. Just simply love their song. And their voice is very good as well. [kodigo]
I strongly believe that anything that is sweet to hear need not have any language barrier.I listen to Tamil,Malayalam,Hindi,Arabic and English music and have a great collection of them too.Music in any form is always a bliss.happy [balasri]
Of course I like all the songs sound good.I am learning English like you too.I set my cell phone in English and listen English songs ,I can sing some english songs well.^_^ I like the music from Vietnam,DEM LAO XAO.It sounds very good,you can try to listen. [Ritasmile]
i only listen to English, spanish and Filipino songs. those were only the languages that i know of and familiar with. listening to songs with lyrics that you don't understand is useless. yes, we need to listen mostly to English songs to learn english more because it's the medium we use to communicate anywhere in the world. [flagella08]
I like listening songs in English and Hindi only. Although most of the time I can't catch the words which are being sung by English singers but thanks to internet that I can download the lyrics and by reading them I can understand the meaning of the song. Believe me that I felt more pleasure after reading the lyrics! [sanuanu]
Yes sometimes i love listening to spanish songs. one of my favourite is son de amores. its a very nice song, some part i hardly understnad but i love the music, not all languages songs i like but i love konkani, spanish, english and similar. [Archie0]
I ever listening 'Asereje' (Las Ketchups), very enjoy when listening that song. [srikandi19]
yup..listen to Japanese,Korean,Hindi,English,mandarin,Cantonese and Spanish song..but never understand what the song means [fasyahime]
lol we do not need to know what its meaning the lyrics, it is important that we feel happy and comfortable when listening to the song. [srikandi19]
Oh yes i do......i love listening to songs from various countries and traditions.....i love Arabic songs for the sway in their songs.....i also listen to Tamil music, techno,trance........i don't follow much of rock but yes i do listen to songs whichever it may be other than the languages i know....I don't understand the lyrics of it.....but f you observe.....the tune,the beat....it all differs from country to country.......its really amazing....i myself am a great fan of music hence i love to hear a variation most of the times......... [John4Christ]
can learning and improve my English -YES I DO IT FOR MANY TIMES [harsha04]
Hi srikandi, Listening song is really good irrespective of the language and anybody can enjoy good music. If you ask mine, my first preference to goes to my native language songs (Malayalam). There are plenty of sweet melodies in my native language. I like to listening Hindi, Tamil and Punjabi songs also. I didn't get much opportunity to listen songs in other languages. [Sreekala]
I normally and i like listening english songs especially old love songs. i also love to listen hindi and arabic. For tagalog i prefer to listen country songs like masdan mo ang kapaligiran, anak and other songs by asin and freddie aguilar. [gracypure]
yeah .. I also like listening Old song or memories songs. I have not even reveal the time that music is popular, but I feel relaxed while listening to memories songs. [srikandi19]
yes, i likes listening songs of different languages.i always listens English,Tamil,Hindi,Malayalam songs.most of the time i listen Hindi and Tamil songs [nujoomva]
Like you, i also love english songs.. but as of now i'm very fond of listening in spanish songs.. I found it's intimate emotion along with the great melody. Try to check out Enrique Iglesias's "Nunca te Olvidare" ( I will never forget you ). It was so romantic, actually a tv series in our country a decade ago. [sheyzlviv]
i like to listen to English, Malay and Hindi songs. I understand all the 3 languages. well you are right you can learn a language from listening to the songs. The best part of listening a song is that it can put in different kind of moods and sometimes even cheer us up when we are down. so keep it up. [schoenmaker143]
Yeah .. Sometimes I feels like that when listening songs of different Language blush My mood can change with listening to the songs. [srikandi19]
I don't usually listen to songs of different languages. Most of time I only listen to songs of Mandarin and English. I used to listen Japanese and Korean songs back in high school. But I found it was easier for me to really like the song if I can understand the lyrics. It's troublesome to read the translations. [CornicSoup]
I don't know about Japan language. But when I heard Japan songs I feel happy, even if it does not understand the lyrics blush [srikandi19]
I don't usually listen to songs of languages that I don't understand. Most of time I only listen to Mandarin and English songs. I used to listen Japanese and Korean songs back in high school. But I found it was difficult for those songs to be my favorite if I can't understand the lyrics. Reading the translations is really troublesome. [CornicSoup]
Oops!! I thought I was failed posting the previous one.. *blush* [CornicSoup]
yes i also love listening english songs. My native language is hindi but as long as i can understand other language song and i like it then surely i will listen to it [akangirl]
I like some French and Spanish songs, I don't even try to understand them I just like the way the words sound with the music. I also like the beat in many Spanish songs. [savypat]
For me, it's all about the words. I have to have great words or I can't listen to anything even if I understand it-unless I'm working out. I guess I might like songs in different languages then, if it has teh abilit to keep me punped up and stuff. I love anything techno when I'm at the gym. I lisdten to things I'm ashamed to admit I have on my ipod then but whatever works! [csrobins]
I don't listen to songs of other languages. I might have to try doing that sometime. I just wonder if it would be hard for me to enjoy the music, if I can't understand the lyrics. [cortney09]
I will have to try listening to a song of another language and feeling the rythm as you suggested. Thanks. [cortney09]
i dont mind listening to songs of different language if i like the music and rhythm. i love listening to mandarin songs in particular, and sometimes japanese too happy [kevsgirlalways]
me too, although I do not understand the lyrics. but if rhythm its good and nice in hear. I like to listen to the song. [srikandi19]
I like Japanise music a lot. Originally it was video game music that got me into it, both lyric version and not, but I've found some others I enjoy as well. I can't always understand it, but I do tend to look up translations from time to time. With the sudden popularity of the music you can actually find English versions at times, but it's not always the same. [jsmith12]
I do like to listen to songs of different languages, but only the languages i understand;french, english, italian, portuguese, because i like to know what they are singing about. [jewel76]
Yeah , I like listening songs of different language .. Especially english, indian , latin ,japanese songs . I seldom listen my own country's language songs because it is so popular and you can listen it everywhere . But the different language music can have special feeling when you listen it . [Generis]
Yup .. I agree with you. [srikandi19]
I also like listening to a song with the other I also like listening to a song with the other but I can understand the content of the song. I more interested in the songs that well without audible choose what language to use? [indahfth]
I like to listening mandarin songs, cantonese songs because some singer I like their style and I also like to watching tv drama. I love Korea songs and Japanese songs, also is because I love to watch their tv drama and anime. English songs is also my favorites. [my125125]
Yes, I do. I love african music and sometimes its not in english. [jdyrj777]
Reggae is my favorite. But it is english. Ruff accent usually but still english. Except Alpha Blondy sometimes uses other languages. Afro reggae is very good too. [jdyrj777]
I love to listen to any songs that fit me, regardless what the languages are. I have lots of songs in my playlist : J-pop, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, Malay, Chinese and of course, English. I also have a couple of Thais and Spanish too. I try my best to understand the languages especially if I love the song. [prinzcy]
I like english,arabian and chinese or korean song... [hanah87]
yeah, besides english, i like listening to Tagalog / Filipino songs, Spanish, J-pop, Korean and Chinese songs...i also translate some of the songs that i like or sometimes that melody itself makes it nice to listen to.. [cuttyrish]
Do you ever listening Indonesia songs ? I recommended to listen 'Koes Plus' band and Rhoma Irama's songs blush [srikandi19]
Ow.. .I've learned English from songs and from movies. For nowaday I dislike Indonesian musics (Im Indonesian) coz they make me sick. Really... Headache, dizzy, and somekind of those. But, if I listen to English musics, I will become a happier people round here. Dont matter what is contain in the lyrics, as long as i can enjoy the musics, it doesnt matters to me! I Love Japanese musics too. I dont have to know the meaning of the lyrics, but the songs make me feel happy! [Setto24]
Why you dislike with your mother Music ? as children of the nation should participate in preserving our nation's culture. Please trying listening 'Ridho Rhoma' perhaps your head pain can be healed happy [srikandi19]

Of course I like listening to English songs. But, aside from English songs I also like listening to Japanese songs too. Specially the ones that they use as a sound track of their animes. [AltheGreat2430]
Yeah . japan Anime songs is so popular [srikandi19]
Yes I like listening to songs of different culture. Like Japan and Korea for example. I love the way they interpret the song and how they sang it. It's just like so nice to hear. [justmeh]
Yup .. I like listening Japan Pop [srikandi19]
yeah i too love english songs. I do understand them. Well I also like songs in malay and hindi. I live in a country with 4 different cultural background. Therefore people here speak a lot of languages. English and malay is the main two and the rest depends on each's ethnic background. But I still prefer hindi songs as they carry a very deep meaning them and makes your heart and soul spin if you understand the language. [schoenmaker143]
You are lucky live with 4 different language. For me , I feels hard if speak English. Actually I just native English and must open translate to write posting or comment blush [srikandi19]
Hello srikandi19, I like to listen to all kind of songs in any kind of languages that attract me. I listen to my own mother tongue language, English, Korean, Japanese, Russian songs and any languages as long as I feel nice when I listen to the song. I don't really bother about the meaning or the language, as long as the song soothe my ears, that is good enough. To know the meaning of the lyric is a good thing too. At least, you know what the singer is singing about! [gr8life]
Thanks for responses. I also like listening foreign song as I feel enjoy. [srikandi19]
I love listening to songs of different languages.Only the songs should have catchy tunes and fast drum beats.I don't learn the lyrics of other language songs.I just learn the lyrics of english songs.If i listen to a song most of the time.It gets in my mind so i can sing the song without the lyrics.happyhappy [vicky30]
I like English, Latin, Tagalog and any other songs. I heard lately Latin , and it is so nice to hear of that. But I dont know what it is meant for. Anyway I like the tune of that song shared by my friend from other country. [geniustiger]
Yes, I like to listen to chinese songs like the F4 songs from meteor garden. I also like to Listen to korean songs. It just depends on the beat and music. I don't really find the meaning or the translation of the songs. [AndrewBoi]
in the Philippines, some korean songs or Chinese songs hit our charts. Its a tradition which are highly influenced by the tv novels being aired on national tv. Even though filipinoes does not understand the song in korean, chinese or mexican language, they still enjoy it and even become fanathics. Its such a tradition that people enjoy. They can relate to the song base on what they understand about the love story the song is referring to. =) [doncruise21]

Hello srikandi19! I love music. With that, I listen to a lot of songs on a daily basis. English songs make up most of the songs I listen to. However, there are songs in other languages that I also listen to. I may not understand all of them but they are really good to the ears. There is something about the melody that makes it very interesting. [dolce_vita78]
Yes, I do. I love songs in all languages!! :) It's a great way to learn more about different cultures. [cherishxbunny]
