Rockalingua songs are designed to help kids learn Spanish.

Finding music in Spanish for elementary students is hard. Songs at an appropriate language level are often too babyish. Popular songs tend to be abstract and do not reinforce the basic vocabulary that kids need to master. Fortunately songs from Rockalingua help solve this problem.

Rockalingua is an educational website with songs, videos and other materials to teach Spanish to children in the elementary grades. It is the work of a musician and Spanish teacher from Spain who currently teaches in San Francisco.

Many Rockalingua songs are available to listen to free on the website. You can access all the Rockalingua videos, songs, games and worksheets with a subscription. The subscription is an excellent value because the materials are easy to use and fit any curriculum.

Rockalingua is giving away a one-year subscription to a Spanish Playground reader. Enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter below.
