Sing the chorus with Sol
Press play and follow the words: each Spanish line, then what it means. Every form has its colour: infinitive, yo (I) and él / ella (he / she).
Uno, dos, tres: hablé, comí,
one, two, three: I talked, I ate,
hablo es hoy, habló ya pasó,
hablo is now, habló is done,
¡un acento lo cambia todo, ya ves!
one little accent changes it all!

Every song
Hear it, then type it
Sol sings a line with the verb forms missing, and its English meaning stays on screen. Listen, type the forms, accents and all, and check them.
All exercisesYo or él?
Choose the right form
Lines from the song with one form missing: hablé or habló, tuve or tuvo, fui or fue. The meaning tells you which, and every answer says why.

Why a song sticks better than a verb table
- 01
One grammar point per song
Each song teaches one thing: the regular past, a group of irregular verbs, a tense. About three minutes, with the level in the title.
- 02
Spanish, then English
Sol sings every line in Spanish, then what it means in English, so you always know what you're singing. The chorus states the rule and comes back three times.
- 03
Karaoke in colour
Every word lights up as it is sung, and each form keeps its colour in both languages: the infinitive blue, yo orange, él and ella green.

Your host
Meet Sol
Sol sings along in every video. She points up at the verb table, points at the example lines, and moves out of the way when the lyrics need the space. Same voice, same face, every song, so you always know where you are.

Questions
Good to know
What is Spanish Grammar on Repeat?
A free YouTube channel and website that teaches Spanish grammar with pop songs. Each song covers one grammar point, such as the regular past tense, the irregular preterite or the imperfect, with karaoke lyrics and colour-coded verb forms.
Why is every line sung in Spanish and then in English?
So you always know what you're singing. Sol sings each line in Spanish, then its meaning in English, and each form keeps its colour in both languages: tuve and “I had” in orange, tuvo and “he had” in green.
Who are the songs for?
Teenagers and adults learning Spanish, English speakers first, from beginner (A1) to advanced (C2). Every song shows its CEFR level, and the examples come from adult life: work, dinner, dates, the gym and messages.
What do the colours mean?
Blue is the infinitive (hablar), orange is the yo form (hablé) and green is the él or ella form (habló). The imperfect has its own colour, cyan (hablaba). The word being sung lights up in yellow.
Which Spanish do the songs use?
Neutral Spanish that is understood in Spain and Latin America, spelt as the RAE sets it. Where a word changes from country to country, the video's description says so. Vosotros waits for a song of its own.
How do I learn with the songs?
Watch once and read along. Then sing the chorus: it states the rule. Play the song again later that day and the next day, because repetition is the point. Finish with the song's exercises: hear a line, type the missing form, then choose the right one.
Who is Sol?
Sol is the channel's animated host. She sings along in every video, points at the verb table and the examples, and says ¡hola! at the start of every song. Her name is the note after re and mi (Remi hosts our English channel), and sol means sun.
Are the songs made with AI?
Yes. We write every lyric for learners, and the music and the singing voice are produced with AI tools, always in the same voice. Each take is checked line by line against the lyrics, in Spanish and in English, before it is published, and YouTube shows it as altered or synthetic content.
Which level should I start with?
Start with A2 if you know some Spanish and want to talk about the past: the first five songs cover the past tense. Songs for beginners (A1) are on the way.
Are the songs free?
Yes. Every song is free on YouTube and on this site, with the full lyrics in Spanish and English, the verb tables and the exercises.
How often do new songs come out?
New songs come out every week, at 16:00 UK time. Subscribe on YouTube to get them first.
