Learning to chant the Salve Regina is the easiest entry into the classic Latin hymns. The Salve Regina includes traditional chant and Latin into your devotional life. It is also a wonderful gift to your children if you chant it every night after praying family Rosary. Children pick it up quickly. Our four-year-old learned it quickly.
