Is there any hope to learn English...

p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }Is there anyhope to learn English while listening to the songs?

Do you knowhow I used to entertain myself when teenager, not yet having the

Internet, and thus the opportunity to find the lyrics of foreign

singers' music? I turned on the Scorpions band on my tape recorder

(got really hooked on them in high school), took a pen and a notebook

and, listening carefully, wrote down every word that I heard. This

way I learned their art, and the language as well.

After awhile I was greatly surprised to find out it was a german band, not

american. Germans are characterized with very clear pronunciation of

english words, so my music choice was successful.

So, howexactly did I do this?

1) As it wasmentioned above, I would turn on, listen and write down. Later these

skills were of great help at lectures in the college and the

university.

2) WheneverI missed something, I would replay it. The songs were listened over

and over again.

3) Irecollected the text, or rather the phrases it was contained of. Then

I was appropriate in using them in my everyday speech.

4) Keptsinging again and again.

There's onlyone disadvantage about this method – it's not enough of it. It must

be acompanied by regular lessons: independently or with a tutor.

About selfeducation I've already told you, and the tutor will show

you and tell you everything.

Good luck!What if listening to your favourite tunes will stimulate you to new

language achievements – who knows?

p.s. Andwhen a few years ago "Scorps" were visiting Lviv with a

concert, all their songs I was singing together with them, because

I've long known all the lyrics by heart. Isn't it the reason to start

learning English?
