From the other side.
I must have called a thousand times, to tell you...
Oh, hey, everyone.
I don't know about you, but I love listening to music.
I guess most people do.
There are so many musical styles in English that you can use to make
learning more pleasurable.
In this video I’ll give you four tips to learn English with music.
Oh, and if you're a teacher, I have an extra tip for you
at the end of the video.
Our first tip, you can choose a song you like and read along
with the lyrics while you are listening to it.
That way you can read the words, at the same time helping with your
comprehension and pronunciation.
Spotify now has a section where you can read the lyrics of the song whilst
you are listening to it.
Our second tip, you can print out the lyrics
and try to translate it into your own language.
Many songs use different expressions and idioms,
so when people translate them to their own language,
it makes sense to them what they are singing and hearing.
To help you translate, you can use the Online Cambridge Dictionary,
which has more than 20 languages and options.
Our third tip, you can practice the song with apps like LyricsTraining.
In this app you listen to the song and complete
the lyrics with the missing words.
They are great to practice listening and your overall
comprehension of the song.
Our fourth tip, sing.
After you’ve seen and practised the lyrics,
put the song on and sing to practice pronunciation and have fun.
Here is an extra tip for teachers.
Ask your students to bring or send you examples of songs
that contain the grammar or vocabulary topic you are studying.
It's quite motivating for them, especially teens and adults,
when they can find a practical example of what they are studying,
and connect it with a musical genre they enjoy.
Now you can enjoy music you like while you learn
and practice English at the same time.
What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
