【Weekly Topic 2025.08.03】Learning English Through Music: Helpful or Not?

Floor 1 啊啊是谁都对 8/3/25 13:26

Introduction:

 

Hey everyone! Welcome to this week's club discussion. We're diving into a popular method many of us use: learning English through music! Listening to songs in English is fun and everywhere, but does it actually help us improve our language skills? Let's share our experiences, opinions, and tips on this topic.

 

To get the conversation started, please consider these questions:

 

1.  Do you believe listening to English songs is an effective way to learn English? Why or why not?

2.  What are the main benefits you get (or think you could get) from learning English through music? (e.g., vocabulary, pronunciation, listening skills, understanding culture/slang, motivation)

3.  What are the biggest challenges or downsides you've faced (or can think of) when trying to learn this way? (e.g., fast singing, unclear lyrics, slang, misheard words, focusing only on the tune)

4.  Can you share an example? Has a specific English song ever taught you a useful new word, phrase, or helped improve your pronunciation? Tell us about it!

I don't listen to English song s very often. In my opinion, I can remember new words much more easily and clearly than that through ordinary ways, but I am easy to make some mistakes! For example, I misremember the usage of "long for" to "be long for" after listening to a English song owing to singer's blurred pronunciation. 
啊啊是谁都对: Maybe words have changed accroding to the tune of the song.

I don't think "Learning English Through Music" is a very efficient method, I only think it has an auxiliary function

I think it can help me to understand the songs I like better and learn some new words passingly

The first thing is I cannot always find English songs that meet my palette

For many English songs I cannot hear the lyrics very clearly and I must find lyrics in the internet. And for some unpopular songs I cannot find the lyrics

At last, as you say, for many English songs I will only focus on the tune
