Want to improve your Dutch while singing along?
23 september 2025
Highly recommended! On Friday evening, 26th September, ASML is organising a Dutch sing-along together with the Effenaar in Eindhoven.
Language and song are inextricably linked. As soon as language is in a song, something happens in the brain. Words stick, sentences are spoken more fluently, and grammar nestles seamlessly between the notes. Singing helps with grammar, pronunciation and intonation. Students repeat sentences rhythmically and learn through play. It increases their enjoyment of language, strengthens the group and lowers the threshold for speaking.
At STE Languages, we regularly use music and singing as a teaching method. See:
