Music Time - Text in English, Português and Español

Do you like music? If you do, it is a great way to learn a new language. Personally I love it and I have learned a lot listening to songs in English. Back in the time when I first studied, Internet didn't exist, so if I liked one song I had to wait for it to be played on the radio or to buy the CD. Having the lyrics was not easy either. I remember the first song I learned in class, it was "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" (soundtrack of the movie Don Juan de Marco) I used to walk around with the lyrics waiting for it to be played on the radio, and when they played it I went crazy trying to sing it along. I wanted to pronounce everything correctly and understand the meaning of all the words.
In our English Classes through Skype we can use songs to start a discussion about the ideas of the composer,  to practice listening, to study a bit of grammar, to acquire new vocabulary and to understand expressions. How about trying a music activity right now?

Você gosta de música? Se a sua resposta é sim, saiba que a música é uma ótima ferramenta para aprender um novo idioma. Pessoalmente, eu amo música e aprendi muito escutando canções. No tempo em que eu comecei a estudar inglês, não existia Internet, então se eu me apaixonava por uma música tinha que esperar que tocassem na rádio ou comprar o CD. Conseguir a letra também não era tão fácil. Ainda lembro a primeira canção que aprendi na minha aula de Inglês : "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" (trilha sonora do filme Don Juan de Marco). Eu ia para todos os lugares levando a letra dessa música, ansiosa por escutá-la na rádio e quando tocavam, eu pegava a minha letra e começava a cantar. Queria pronunciar tudo corretamente e entender o significado de todas as palavras.
Nas nossas Aulas de Inglês por Skype, podemos usar uma canção para começar uma discussão sobre as idéias do compositor, praticar a escuta, estudar um pouco de gramática, aprender vocabulário novo e entender expressões. Que tal experimentar uma atividade com música agora mesmo?

¿Te gusta la música? Si tu respuesta es sí, sabé que también es una gran herramienta para aprender un nuevo idioma. Personalmente, me encanta y he aprendido mucho escuchando canciones. Cuando empecé a estudiar inglés no había Internet, asi que cuando me enamoraba de un tema tenía que esperar que lo tocara en la radio o compar el CD. Conseguir la letra de la canción no era fácil tampoco. Todavía me acuerdo del primer tema que aprendí en mi clase de Inglés. "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" (banda sonora de la película Don Juan de Marco). Iba a todos lados llevando la letra, esperando que la pasaran y cuando la tocaban agarraba mi letra y empezaba a cantar. Quería pronunciar todo correctamente y entender el significado de todas las palabras.

En nuestras Clases de Inglés por Skype se puede usar una canción para empezar una discusión acerca de las ideas del compositor, practicar la escucha, estudiar un poco de gramática, aprender vocabulario nuevo y entender expresiones. Qué tal hacer una actividad con música ahora mismo?
