  • Hey everyone

  • Welcome to my channel

  • Thanks for watching and subscribing

  • for liking my videos and

  • for commenting below

  • Today I want to share my experience

  • of learning English language

  • and I want to share one of the most effective methods

  • to learn it

  • As you know I started to learn English

  • when I was 4.

  • I'm 26 right now.

  • I'm 21 years into learning English language

  • and I guess I have a lot of experience in it

  • One of the most effective things that I've done

  • was going to an Engish speaking country

  • like Great Britain or the United States

  • and learning English with native speakers

  • but I know that not everyone can go to a foreign country

  • and spend a couple weeks there

  • and not everyone has an opportunity to hire a native speaker

  • in his own town

  • and practice every day

  • There's one amazing, absolutely - free method

  • to learn English language

  • and I'm going to share it with you

  • Since I was 8

  • I feel in love with American pop culture

  • I used to listen to all of the songs in English

  • like Britney Spears

  • my favotite singer and

  • I used to write her letters

  • I was so into her albums

  • her songs

  • It really helped me learn a lot of English

  • You know when you're listening to something

  • You really want to understand what's happening in the song

  • You start translating it

  • And then you hear the song over and over again

  • and you can encounter many new words

  • because you listen to the song every day

  • you would eventually memorise them

  • This is the best way to learn new words

  • When you encouner new words and then repeat it

  • and then it's there in your brain

  • This is what I did

  • First I started doing it with Britney Spears

  • I just listened to her songs

  • started to translate

  • You also have to be careful

  • one of the most popular songs by Britney Spears

  • is Hit me baby one more time

  • If you ever listened to her

  • She sings "oh baben, baben"

  • something

  • it's weird but it's actually oh baby, baby

  • This is the way you learn the accent

  • because actually American people sing like that

  • because Britney Spears's singing like that

  • So there are many many things

  • that you'd hear in the song

  • and they'd look different on paper

  • when you actually see the lyrics

  • Another thing I've learnt from songs

  • You know the song "wish you were here"?

  • This is the second conditional

  • Wish you were here

  • I guess this is the second conditional

  • If I'm wrong, please correct me in the comments

  • Another song that just came to my mind

  • we actually used it during the lesson in our language school

  • And this is a song by Modest mouse

  • Which starts with a phrase

  • They have such a weird accent

  • Imagine I was around 13

  • and the teacher gave that song

  • and we had to write down every single word we understood

  • I listened to the whole song

  • I had like 3 words written correctly

  • If you haven't heard this song

  • please listen to it

  • listen to the whole version

  • Try to write down what you get

  • and then read the lyrics

  • This would help you understand the accents

  • because English is such a language

  • that you can know thousands of words

  • and you can be super proficient in grammar

  • but when you hear native speakers

  • you start talking to native speakers

  • you might have a lot of problems understanding

  • and talking to them

  • in a way that they would understand

  • and there are many idioms and many grammatical things

  • that you can learn from songs like wish you were here

  • and there's also songs like by Nira Jones

  • why I didn't come

  • This phrase also helps me when I

  • I try to put something like this in a sentence

  • It's not like I don't know why I hadn't come

  • It's I don't know why I didn't come

  • All of those small things like if you remember

  • if they stick to your brain

  • they would make your speech more amazing

  • and more natural

  • So really try that

  • And all of the songs

  • English language songs which you have

  • in your iphone right now

  • try to read the lyrics

  • and try to understand every single word

  • And when you listen to them again

  • you'd notice in your brain

  • "hey, I know that this is this word,

  • and I just looked it up in the dictionary".

  • And I know what it means

  • and this way you'd memorise it

  • And I think best language schools all over the world

  • would use this method so you would sit down with your teacher

  • and the teacher would switch on a song

  • like my teacher did

  • I actually just returned from London

  • where I attended classes at UIC English school

  • Many of you might wonder

  • why I'm attending English language classes

  • if I passed TOEFL

  • and all that

  • My business is connected with studying Engish abroad

  • I want to make sure our partners are the best

  • I studied in one of the schools

  • and the teacher was so amazing

  • he sang the songs himself

  • He brought in the guitar

  • Well, you're going to see it right now

  • I recorded the video

  • There'll be a small task for you

  • I'll put the task that he gave us

  • and try to fill in the words

  • Please tell me in the comments

  • if you did everything right

  • or if you've done any mistakes

  • Please let me know if you liked this method

  • of learning English language

  • and if used it

  • Thank you so much for watching this video

  • And now enjoy the piece from the class
