If you are looking for a really fun and easy way to learn English, why not use the “universal language” of music to help? Reading aloud is one of the best ways to practice speaking in English because it allows you to read and pronounce each word slowly and carefully. Singing aloud helps in this way too! We can all connect with great music, no matter what our geographical and cultural differences. As long as you enjoy the rhythm and beat of a song, it doesn’t even matter if the language is a foreign one.

So, which songs are good to start singing along to, if you are trying to improve your English. We suggest you start with pop music since the vocabulary is simple, and the sentences are short and easy to understand. Pop music is often about love, heartbreak, and having a good time. These are things that everyone can relate to, which makes them easy to understand.

However, just listening to music is not enough. If you’re using it to learn English, follow these steps so you’re learning and having fun!

Use earphones

Using earphones is a great way to make sure that you hear every word clearly. After all, it’s the lyrics that will help you learn English – you don’t want to miss those.

Sing along

Listening to the lyrics of a song is a good way to practice understanding English. And as you sing along, you can practice your pronunciation of English words – look for karaoke videos on YouTube so you can read and sing along to your favorite songs.

Replay the difficult parts

Nearly every music streaming website offers you a way to replay specific parts of songs. You can do this multiple times so you don’t miss any of the words, especially the difficult ones. Replay, memorize, sing along!

Speak the lyrics

As fun as it is to sing your favorite songs, also practice just reading or saying the words normally – it’s another way to practice and build your vocabulary.
