Learning English From Music

Have you wondered, how to learn English but entertaining at the same time. Do you like to listen to music ? If yes, this post might have something useful for you. Why ? because in this post, i want to give some tips to learn English from music. Isn't that educative yet entertaining ? Okay lets start.

Why learn English through music ?
1.  Songs and music almost always contain a lot of useful vocabulary, phrases and expressions. And since the intended audience is native speakers, songs and music include up-to-date language.  The language used in songs is actually usable, if you pick the right music.

2.  Listening to songs will also allow you to focus on your pronunciation and understanding of the English language’s rhythm, tone and beat.

3. Many of the words and sound patterns within a song are repetitive and this makes it easier for them to stick in your mind.

That is the reason why we learn English from music, and this is the tips to learn English through music.

1. Go to the right place to find songs.

You can search for music in Youtube or Vimeo. They have vast libraries of music videos and some will also be subtitled with the song lyrics in English.

2. Select the right song.

Pick music you love. There’s no point to learning English through songs if you don’t really enjoy the music. This is the fast track to boredom.
Find music that uses the right kind of language. Language which is not too easy or too hard, and which is commonly used.


3. Study the lyrics and the vocabulary.

It’s also important that you review the vocab on a regular basis. Break the song down, word by word, and try to master each word so that it’s a part of your vocabulary.

4. Sing along.

Unless you’re singing in front of an audience, it doesn’t matter if you’re the worst vocalist in the world. So don’t worry if you don’t possess any musical ability. You should try singing out loud to the music. This forces your mouth to adopt the right shapes and move with the rhythm of the song.

5. Try to sing it from you memory.

After a while, you should find that you’re starting to memorize the song. And then try to sing the song without looking at the lyrics. You should be able to find that you can do a much better job including such words in your everyday speech.

6. Review it periodically.

You don’t have to complete learning one song before you move to the next. In fact, after you get comfortable with one song, you can move to the next. And then after enough time passes, you can go back to the first song.

Okay thats all from this post, I hope this is useful for you.
