CULTURE: English through music

Music is a really useful tool to learn English. Songs are a great source of real life and you can use music to practise different language skills. And, most of all, songs are a fun way to learn English! How? Have you ever had a song stuck in your head all day? Me too! Listening or repeating the lyrics of your favourite songs (even humming them) will improve one or all of the following aspects: 

• Vocabulary: Repeating song lyrics is a  way of  fixing new words and phrases quickly. Think of it as regular word repetition in English classes but with background music.

• Grammar. Listening to English songs can help you master and use certain grammar patterns correctly in everyday conversation.

• Pronunciation and accent. Singing along with your favorite English songs also helps to reduce your accent and learn more about how to link words together when you speak, which greatly improves your pronunciation.
