Listening to songs is a great way to learn English. Here are a few reasons.

1 And when you are enjoying yourself, you learn without even realizing it. The best thing is that there are so many good songs in English and there are so many kinds of music, including pop, country, R&B, rock, soul and so on. Let David Bowie, Madonna, The Beatles, Alicia Keys...be your teachers!

2 Just take your MP3 player with your favorite tracks and press ＂play＂. And you can listen to them whenever and whatever you want, so you can learn English while you’re walking, driving, doing sports or relaxing on the sofa.

3 While you’re listening to songs, you are raising your awareness of language structures. And you’re seeing how the structures are formed and used.

4 And after singing along to the songs several times, all those phrases and expressions will become firmly fixed in your long-term memory. Then later you’ll find that you use them naturally when you’re speaking or writing.

5 For example, the song American Pie is about the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the The Big Bapper, which was an important event in US history.

So, load up your MP3 player, put on your headphones and press ＂play＂!
