Our first tip, you can choose
a song you like and read along
10
48149
4491
00:52
with the lyrics while
you are listening to it.
11
52740
2669
00:55
That way you can read the words,
at the same time helping with your
12
55859
4159
01:00
comprehension and pronunciation.
13
60119
2100
01:02
Spotify now has a section where you
can read the lyrics of the song whilst
14
62609
4461
01:07
you are listening to it.
15
67170
1168
01:10
Our second tip,
you can print out the lyrics
16
70890
2909
01:14
and try to translate it
into your own language.
17
74040
3569
01:17
Many songs use different
expressions and idioms,
18
77969
3091
01:21
so when people translate
them to their own language,
19
81299
3390
01:24
it makes sense to them what
they are singing and hearing.
20
84870
3030
01:28
To help you translate, you can use
the Online Cambridge Dictionary,
21
88739
3420
01:32
which has more than 20
languages and options.
22
92430
2429
01:35
Our third tip, you can practice the
song with apps like LyricsTraining.
23
95609
4740
01:40
In this app you listen
to the song and complete
24
100709
3409
01:44
the lyrics with the missing words.
25
104219
1740
01:46
They are great to practice
listening and your overall
26
106319
3831
01:50
comprehension of the song.
27
110250
1290
01:54
Our fourth tip, sing.
28
114299
2701
01:57
After you’ve seen and
practised the lyrics,
29
117420
2730
02:00
put the song on and sing to
practice pronunciation and have fun.
30
120420
4530
02:07
Here is an extra tip for teachers.
31
127049
2821
02:10
Ask your students to bring
or send you examples of songs
32
130229
4251
02:14
that contain the grammar or
vocabulary topic you are studying.
33
134580
4439
02:19
It's quite motivating for them,
especially teens and adults,
34
139319
3690
02:23
when they can find a practical
example of what they are studying,
35
143280
3479
02:27
and connect it with
a musical genre they enjoy.
36
147060
3389
02:39
Now you can enjoy music
you like while you learn
37
159180
3288

and practice English at the same time.
