Hello hivefriends. Some people have asked me if I can learn the English language by listening to music? Today I want to remove you from some doubts with my humble opinion and my little experience of when I studied the Bilingual Secretariat, I hope to help you and to correct me in what I am wrong.
On the internet, specifically on YouTube, we can find many people offering to teach English and use a song to explain what it translates. In my humble opinion, a class like that doesn't help much in the concentration of the student or the person who wants to learn the English language because there are many breaks and many explanations.

In order to learn English with a song, you have to have some knowledge about some verbs and know the meaning of some words since it happens that when you hear them in the singer's voice your brain recognizes it and from there you could deduce the meaning of the phrase.
Many Latinos listen to music and claim not to know what it translates although they pronounce it well, but that is not enough, you have to know its translation.
My experience in my English laboratory and it was something that we as students asked a lot was to be placed to listen to music and we had to write it. We wrote the words that we recognized and those that were not left blank.

As you can see, in this video it is clarified that English is understandable by all the native of that language but he confesses that there are many differences, so my teacher is right in saying that British English is the easiest to understand due to its pronunciation.

Listening to the music, without subtitles, helps you understand English and even better if you look in the dictionary for what a word you don't know means and the translation is recorded. This method helps you with writing and if you sing it it helps you with pronunciation. Good luck in your English classes with the songs.
