sentences sound natural and fluent so vocabulary listening to music and songs
will help you to learn more vocabulary new vocabulary and quicker and you'll
hear new vocabulary in context you'll also be much more likely to remember the

just doing this will improve your pronunciation
and your vocabulary and your English listening skills as well but I'm going
to share with you some exercises that will really kickstart your English
learning through songs Oh before I do this don't forget to hit the subscribe
button and the bell so you don't miss out on any of my lessons and videos
number one is really important to choose a song where you can hear the words the
lyrics really clearly for example Paul McCartney's when I'm 64 now this is not
only very clear it's also great practice for the future tip number two just
listen to the song with your eyes closed and try and work out what the song is
about is it a love song is it happy is it sad number three listen to the song
again and write down any words or phrases that you hear whether you
understand them or not then look up the words online just type in the singer and
the name of the song and you'll find the lyrics number five listen to the song
and read the lyrics at the same time did you guess what the same was about
correctly number six look up any words or phrases that you don't understand in
a dictionary and write them down number seven listen to the song a few
times and read the lyrics and then wait for it when you feel comfortable and
happy start to sing along this is great for your pronunciation number eight save
the song onto your iPod or phone and listen to it every available opportunity
maybe if you're on a bus or a train or walking to work the more you listen and
sing along the easier it will be to remember the vocabulary and the grammar
