Hey everyone
Welcome to my channel
Thanks for watching and subscribing

Today I want to share my experience
of learning English language
and I want to share one of the most effective methods
to learn it
As you know I started to learn English
when I was 4.
I'm 26 right now.
I'm 21 years into learning English language
and I guess I have a lot of experience in it
One of the most effective things that I've done
was going to an Engish speaking country
like Great Britain or the United States
and learning English with native speakers
but I know that not everyone can go to a foreign country
and spend a couple weeks there
and not everyone has an opportunity to hire a native speaker
in his own town
and practice every day
There's one amazing, absolutely - free method
to learn English language
and I'm going to share it with you
Since I was 8
I feel in love with American pop culture
I used to listen to all of the songs in English
like Britney Spears
my favotite singer and
I used to write her letters
I was so into her albums
her songs
It really helped me learn a lot of English
You know when you're listening to something
You really want to understand what's happening in the song
You start translating it
And then you hear the song over and over again
and you can encounter many new words
because you listen to the song every day
you would eventually memorise them
This is the best way to learn new words
When you encouner new words and then repeat it
and then it's there in your brain
This is what I did
First I started doing it with Britney Spears
I just listened to her songs
started to translate
You also have to be careful
one of the most popular songs by Britney Spears
is Hit me baby one more time
If you ever listened to her
She sings "oh baben, baben"
something
it's weird but it's actually oh baby, baby
This is the way you learn the accent
because actually American people sing like that
because Britney Spears's singing like that
So there are many many things
that you'd hear in the song
and they'd look different on paper
when you actually see the lyrics
Another thing I've learnt from songs
You know the song "wish you were here"?
This is the second conditional
Wish you were here
I guess this is the second conditional
If I'm wrong, please correct me in the comments
Another song that just came to my mind
we actually used it during the lesson in our language school
And this is a song by Modest mouse
Which starts with a phrase
They have such a weird accent
Imagine I was around 13
and the teacher gave that song
and we had to write down every single word we understood
I listened to the whole song
I had like 3 words written correctly
If you haven't heard this song
please listen to it
listen to the whole version
Try to write down what you get
and then read the lyrics
This would help you understand the accents
because English is such a language
that you can know thousands of words
and you can be super proficient in grammar
but when you hear native speakers
you start talking to native speakers
you might have a lot of problems understanding
and talking to them
in a way that they would understand
and there are many idioms and many grammatical things
that you can learn from songs like wish you were here
and there's also songs like by Nira Jones
why I didn't come
This phrase also helps me when I
I try to put something like this in a sentence
It's not like I don't know why I hadn't come
It's I don't know why I didn't come
All of those small things like if you remember
if they stick to your brain
they would make your speech more amazing
and more natural
So really try that
And all of the songs
English language songs which you have
in your iphone right now
try to read the lyrics
and try to understand every single word
And when you listen to them again
you'd notice in your brain
"hey, I know that this is this word,
and I just looked it up in the dictionary".
And I know what it means
and this way you'd memorise it
And I think best language schools all over the world
would use this method so you would sit down with your teacher
and the teacher would switch on a song
like my teacher did
I actually just returned from London
where I attended classes at UIC English school
Many of you might wonder
why I'm attending English language classes
if I passed TOEFL
and all that
My business is connected with studying Engish abroad
I want to make sure our partners are the best
I studied in one of the schools
and the teacher was so amazing
he sang the songs himself
He brought in the guitar
Well, you're going to see it right now
I recorded the video
There'll be a small task for you
I'll put the task that he gave us
and try to fill in the words
Please tell me in the comments
if you did everything right
or if you've done any mistakes
Please let me know if you liked this method
of learning English language
and if used it
Thank you so much for watching this video
And now enjoy the piece from the class
