đ” What is it about music?
đ¶ Why does the music of our youth stay with us?
Â
In this English listening practice episode (E59) of Hear You Go, weâre turning up the volume to take a walk down memory lane and hear the playlist of my childhoodâmostly English songs from artists like Kris Kristofferson and Bruce Springsteen that shaped my childhood, and probably influenced my bleeding heart.
Â
What is it about music that sparks these memories? You know that music is a fabulous mood booster, but itâs also super helpful in learning new English vocabulary through song lyrics. Music is connected to memory, and therefore is a pretty good way to remember words and how theyâre produced orally, or used in a poem or piece of prose writing.
Â
đ« Without a doubt, listening to music helps bring about nostalgia, and listening to songs in English boosts language acquisition in an enjoyable way.
Music is a must for English listening practice, from beginner to advanced English. Itâs also a fabulous way to hear how words are contracted and reduced: made messy, as most spoken language is.Â
Â
đ To thank you for all your support so far this season (season 3!), Iâve even made a special playlist for you (two in fact!)âperfect for learning or just reminiscing.
Whatâs on your childhood playlist? đ¶
Hear You Go English language listening podcasts aim to give you, the intermediate English language learner and advanced English language learner, a space to practice your English listening so that you can think, learn, and connect in English.
