Hi, welcome to this video, if this is your first time here don’t forget to click the red subscribe button below and at some point during the video give me a thumbs up if this video is helping you learn English. Well in this video we’re going to talk about music videos and how you can use them to help improve your English. I’m gonna give you ten tips, ten things that I learned about using music to learn a language while I was learning to speak French. But they’ll all work for you as you learn English. So let’s take a look at them. Number one. Pick a song that you really like. It doesn’t have to be a song where you know all the words. It should be a song that speaks to you, that means something to you, a song maybe that has a catchy beat. Because remember repetition is the key to language learning. So pick a song that you’re going to be able to listen to over and over and over again. Pick something that you like. Number two. You should pick a song that tells a story. If you pick a song that tells a story, it will help you learn things that you’ll be able to use in everyday English conversations. If you pick a song that tells a story it will help you learn new vocabulary and it will be easier to remember because you’ll be able to connect the new words, the new vocabulary, to the story. And if you pick a song that tells a story, it will simply be easier to remember because you’ll be learning new words in context. You’ll be learning new words as part of the story. So number two, pick a song that tells a story. Number three. Print out the lyrics, that’s the words to the song, on paper. I know it’s easier to just read them on your computer, but you should print out the words of the song on paper so that you can attack the vocabulary. Underline all of the words that you don’t know, circle all of the words that you don’t know, or highlight all of the words that you don’t know. Don’t try to understand the song when you read it for the first time, just attack the vocabulary that is not familiar to you. Once you’ve done that, look up all of the words that you don’t know in an English dictionary or in a French-English dictionary, or Spanish-English dictionary, or a Chinese-English dictionary, whichever language that you are coming from. Tip number four. Memorize all of the new vocabulary that you just identified. Notice we’re not even listening to the song yet. We are still working with understanding the words and lyrics. So memorize all of the words that you identified in step three. Make flashcards, take pieces of paper and write the English word on one side and your word on the other side, or simply write them out a whole bunch of times. Maybe write out the words you don’t know ten times with their meaning. If you can avoid writing the meaning of the word in your own language. If you are able to draw a small picture that will help you remember the meaning of the word, that will be more powerful than learning what it means in your own language. So that’s number four, memorize all the new vocabulary. Tip number five. Now that you’ve looked up the words, read over the song lyrics, the words of the song, two times. **Note: All images used under: CC0 License ✓ Free for personal and commercial use ✓ No attribution required From pexels.com or pixabay.com
