Hey everybody!

Welcome to this A2 English listening practice video.

I hope you're doing well and that you're ready to practice your listening with another video.

Today I want to talk about learning English with music.
5
This honestly is not something that I have really done as a language learner.
6
I haven't really used a lot of music to learn other languages, so personally I don't have tons of experience with this but I know that many people love music.
7
I'm sure many of you love music and I know that some people like using music to help them learn languages.
8
So it's actually a tool that you can use to help you learn English and I want to talk about that today.
9
Before I do that I want to remind you that if you want more advanced content if this is a little easy for you to understand then make sure to sign up for my advanced podcast episodes that link is in the description below and then also you can check out my US conversations podcast in which I talk to different people from all over the country we have normal conversations at normal speed it's a lot of fun and of course, I provide the transcript for each conversation, so you can also check that out.

That link is also down below.
11
So let's talk about learning English using music.
12
I'm not the most musical person and maybe that's why I haven't really tried using a lot of music to learn languages.
13
However, recently I've thought more about this because I was watching a Greek video.
14
I actually watched it many times as I've spoken about a lot.
15
I like to use repetition as a language learner.
16
So there's a Greek video that I have watched many times and that video talks about learning Greek using Greek music and the person who made the video put a part of two different songs Greek songs in the video to like demonstrate something.
17
And what's funny is I don't like those songs that the person put in the video.
18
I didn't really pay attention much to those songs, those parts of the songs that she put in there the first couple times that I watched that video.
19
But I realized after listening or watching that video a few times that I could like almost sing those parts of those Greek songs that she included in there, even though I did not try to learn them, I didn't care about them, I realized that these songs stayed in my head and there was even new vocabulary in both of those parts of those songs that I know now simply because of those songs.
20
The reason why I'm talking about that experience is because it made me think of how it made me think about how powerful music can be to help you memorize things.
21
I wasn't even trying to memorize those Greek lyrics, but I did because when it's in song form, it's easier to remember it.
22
When there's some music to it, there's some rhythm, it's easier to remember that information.
23
And I think that turning new information into a song is a great way to remember it, to memorize it.
24
I can think of my son.
25
This is another good example.
26
He memorized his first Bible verse by turning the verse into a song.
27
My wife and I did that, and he didn't do it.
28
but we turned it into a song and he was able to memorize it after a while because of the song aspect, because of the rhythm.
29
And I've seen other parents do that with their children when they want them to memorize something, they create a song for it.
30
and then just the fact that it's like they're singing it makes it easier for them to recall it and to recite it.
31
So my son memorized his first Bible verse using this technique, this music technique.
32
And a good example for me is in seventh grade, I had this English teacher who taught us all of the auxiliary verbs in English, the helping verbs.
33
And the way he taught us these verbs was by turning it into not really a song, but there was some rhythm to it, how we would recite these verbs.
34
By the way, when you recite something, it's like you're saying the thing that you memorized.
35
So he taught us those verbs, those auxiliary verbs, by making it more rhythmic like a song.
36
And just to prove to you that I can still remember these auxiliary verbs, even though that was almost 20 years ago, let me just tell you all of the auxiliary verbs right now the way I learned them.
37
is am or was were be being then have has had do does did shall will should would made might must can could that was basically how he taught them to us yeah it's not really a song but it kind of has like the rhythm of a song and it's different uh from just saying them so the fact that it was rhythmic like a song made it easier to learn and I still use that knowledge today as an English teacher so that's a great example of how powerful song and rhythm can be to help you memorize things and so even though I haven't personally used music as a language learner to learn other languages, I think that it can be a very helpful tool.
38
And so if you're someone who likes music, you like listening to music, then this is something to consider.
39
You can probably incorporate music somehow to help you learn vocabulary and different things in English, right?
40
And when you do this, you're not only learning vocabulary, you might be learning grammatical structures that are in those lyrics, right?
41
You learn slang and idioms, different ways that people say things, perhaps pronunciation although sometimes we change our pronunciation a little bit when we sing things so I don't really know but pronunciation as well and I should say that even though I haven't intentionally used music to learn languages I have learned two songs in French or not the whole songs, but most of those two songs, just because I like those songs.
42
And the fact that I learned those songs in French has helped me because there's certain vocabulary and phrases and structures in those songs that I use now because of those songs.
43
I've used certain words that I learned from those songs like I use them in my own French conversations and I learned them from the songs.
44
So it wasn't intentional but I have actually benefited from songs as a language learner.
45
So songs and music are a powerful tool so it's something that you can consider using as an English learner and depending on your musical preferences you might use a certain type of music that you can listen to in English that can help you.
46
Like for example, I like listening to hymns, like spiritual songs, Christian songs, the traditional Christian music.
47
And I've learned some words from Spanish hymns.
48
Even though I'm not like learning Spanish, when I have been to Spanish church services, I have learned like vocabulary words from those hymns and so you know that's another example I'm just thinking now that I actually do have some examples of how I've learned you know Spanish or French from music so again even though I haven't done so intentionally it's happened and it's just because I like certain songs or that type of music and I listen to it and then it teaches me things.
49
So I'm sure you can find ways to do that with English as well.
50
So yeah, even though I'm not the biggest music guy, I recognize that music is a powerful tool that can help you learn things and memorize things.
51
So you should try it if you're interested in it.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
