When you google the word Negros Americanos, you will see all of our info then everything else will be something Brazilian posted about our black history in America. And our youtube channel had quite a few Brazilian subscribers and plays even though the songs were only in english or spanish. Negros Americanos-Black Americans means the same thing in Portuguese. I noticed the sheer number of likes that page had and it told me.wow! Something is happening here that we should pay attention to. A lot of Brazilian women like to go on there and in doing so, stumbled upon our page. They display half naked muscular Black men, some from Brazil and some from the states and all over-as well as beautiful natural haired women and quaint black families. I never knew how they found us……Then I found Negro Show fb page. Our Negros Americanos Facebook Page has been getting likes from Brazilian women who didn’t know us for a while. I know Spanish, sure i am willing to learn new words and how to say things in different dialects but I was ready for a new language. Now to bring you up to date, lets fast forward to the present. Many Americans come to these places with their own agendas and don’t even think twice about getting to know the the culture and music that exist in these places. One thing that studying a country’s biggest musicians as an American does, is give you respect from the people that live there. You will now have a new level of understanding about the depth of the record, or you will be disappointed by how stupid the song you thought was so hot really is. Once you have the lyrics you can read along to the song and translate each line word for word. Hopefully you have chosen a song with some type of popularity so that the lyrics can be found on the internet. Once you can sing right along with the artist, then its time to know what you are saying. Do this even when you have absolutely no idea what they are saying, just learn the words and repeat them. This is such a necessary aspect of language learning! You have to find music that you enjoy and learn it word for word, then sing with it in the mirror, in the shower, driving in your car and in front of people. There is a simple secret to language learning! You may have already seen my post about the music scene in Panama and how I dived into it learning and translating every song. The way I went about it was a method that I see many aspiring language learners overlooking. I would say that is probably a tad true, however music played such huge role in my learning. After reading the blog and learning my story one would think that I learned spanish through fornication.
