Do you like music?

If the answer is yes, click on the songs to the right of the screen!

The songs are listed under each level, so that you will hear grammar and vocabulary from class. All of the songs have lyrics, so that you can read while you listen.

Listening to music in English is a great way to improve your listening comprehension, reading comprehension, tone, and rhythm in English. Listen to the same songs again and again, until you can memorize the words and sing along.

Teachers and students, if you have a favorite song in English, add a comment with the name of the singer and/or the song that you want to listen to. I will try to find the song with lyrics on U-Tube and add it to the lists!
