Billie Jean

Image
Bille Jean is one of the popular songs by Micheal Jackson. This song's melodies give energy and you can learn new phrasal verbs or phrases with this song. Let's look at the lyrics carefully. She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene. I said don't mind , but what do you mean, I am the one (It used for telling someone to ignore someone else and continue with what they are doing.) who will dance on the floor in the round.         (This is a common phrase.) She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round. She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene .                   (To create a loud, typically angry disturbance or display in public.) Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one (It is used to attract attention and to turn the eyes on it.) who will dance on the floor in the round.          ...

Somebody That I Used To Know

Image
Although this song is a bit sad, there is a lot to learn. Now we are focusing the vocabulary and phrases. While listening to the song by repeating and following the lyrics you can ensure the permanence of information. Let's look at the lyrics. You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, (physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance) (Kind of is u sed to say that your description of something is not exact.) like resignation to the end, always the end.         (Departure) So when we found that we could not make sense ,                                             (To have a clear meaning) well, you said that we would s till be friends .                                      (This is a common use.) But I'll admit that I was glad ...

Come As You Are

Image
We all know about Nirvana, don't we? Frankly, it's one of my favorite bands, and I really listen to a lot of songs. In this post, I would like to mention a confusing point about the use of 'As'. Since 'As' has many meanings, we make inferences only according to its use in the sentence. In this song by Nirvana, we will understand the use of 'As' in the meaning of 'Like'. Let's look at the lyrics. Come as you are, as you were As I want you to be As a friend, as a friend As a known enemy Take your time, hurry up The choice is yours, don't be late Take a rest as a friend As an old Listen to the song carefully and repeat it once again. When you see 'As' in sentences just mumble the song and identify what is the meaning!

Fairytale

Image
This song is a good way to reinforce tenses. The first verse is express an action that has happened in the past so it has to be in simple past tense. I marked on the lyrics that include past tenses with bold and   the simple present tenses with italic . Years ago, when I was younger. I kinda lik ed a girl I knew. She was mine and we were sweethearts. That was then but then it's true. I'm in love with a fairytale. Even though it hurts. Cause I don't care if I lose my mind. I' m already cursed. Every day we start ed fighting. Every night we fell in love. No one else could make me sadder. But no one else could lifts me high above. I don't know what I was doing. But suddenly we fell apart. Listen carefully once again and pay attention to the usage of tenses. If you listen to this song more than once, You will be kept on saying with melody and you will never forget it. Learning information with songs guarantees a high degree of perman...

Snap Out Of It

Image
Let's continue to learn structures and phrases with songs! Besides the hobby of listening to Arctic Monkeys, you can add many new words in your vocabulary box. Let's listen carefully and learn better together by following the lyrics. What's been happening in your world? What have you been up to ? ('What are you up to?' means 'What are you doing?') I heard that you fell in love                (This is common usage.) or near enough. I gotta tell you the truth. I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby. Snap out of it . (Snap out of it.) (Get out of (a bad or unhappy mood) by a sudden effort.) I get the feeling I left it too late, but baby, snap out of it. (Snap out of it.) If that watch don't continue to swing or the fat lady fancies having a sing. I'll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to snap out of it. Forever isn't for everyone, Is that forever for you? It sounds like s ettling down or gi...

I Know

Image
When I was listening to I Know by Tom Odell I realize that this song helps me to reinforce my part of the speech information and it gains me new vocabulary. Let's look at the lyrics but before this when you listen to a song be sure that you can follow the words. If you can't understand anything and you don't try to understand that means you do not benefit from the song. You are just listening and wasting your time just having fun. If you want to learn and having fun, you should follow the lyrics. Here, there are adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words. Cold house, white light Yellow lamps and black in the skies Full holes in  deep brown  eyes I sing you a s ong that I think you'll like And we walk to places we always go A million faces, I don't know

Sweet Dreams

Image
Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics is an old song that many people know. Have you ever listened carefully and tested whether you know the phrases used? Let's listen carefully and examine closely. Sweet dreams are made of this.  (To say that something has been produced using a substance or object.) Who am I to disagree ? (Have or express a different opinion.) I travel the world. And the seven seas, everybody's looking fo r something.                    (To search) -- Hold your head up. (To display confidence and pride.) Keep your head up , moving on .                               (To continue)

Properties of Human Language | PowerPoint

Hey! Even though we're using a lot of PowerPoint, I still want to offer certain details. It is a series of slideshows from Microsoft that many users enjoy and this program allows the use of various projectors to create some presentation materials. Using this material to make a report or announcement of a proposal is called a presentation or slide. Microsoft Powerpoint; you can add graphical and animations to the text on the screen. You can also integrate slides and presentations with sound effects and narration. You can create screens that effectively combine color text with photographs, drawings, tables, graphics, and movies, and you can switch from one to another, just like in the same slide show. I made a PowerPoint presentation on Linguistics above.

Too Good At Goodbyes

Image
I have chosen some parts of the lyrics and I will show the structures they contain in this beautiful song. Did you think that you would know a lot of information when listening to Sam Smith? Deduction With Must You must think that I'm stupid. You must think that I'm a fool. You must think that I'm new to this but I have seen this all before. “Too” + an adjective + “infinitive form” is used. The meaning of the sentence is negative. I'm never gonna let you close to me, even though you mean the most to me. Because every time I open up, it hurts So I'm never gonna get too close to you -- I'm way too good at goodbyes.     (To be skillful at something.) -- Comperatives But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry. And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry. And every time you walk out, the less I love you.

Power of Music in Language Learning

Image
The contribution of music to education is unquestionably high. Melodies are quite catchy and one of the best ways to learn languages. Music not only teaches words or structures, but you also learn a lot about the geography to which the language belongs. You can even get an idea of culture and moral values.  While learning a foreign language, you gain many skills, especially pronunciation, while listening to songs belonging to that language. For example, you can learn new words while practicing listening. Learning languages is not always something that will be with the help of books or solving tests. You can learn a lot of fun with songs. Even I owe much of my current knowledge to the songs. Here I will help you improve your vocabulary and grammar knowledge by examining some parts of the songs. I will also make suggestions and make sure you learn the language in the most fun way. First of all, it's natural that you don't fully understand the songs you listen to, and it...
