I was born in 1983. So, I only had access to books written in Thai to teach English and English music cassettes.
Most books were grammar based. It was hard to understand. So, I turned to the cassettes. I would play a whole album. Then, I would pick a song that I was curious about most, with a catchy tune that I liked.
I would listen to the song repeatedly to the point that I was familiar with the melody. After that, I started singing along by reading through the lyrics. Most of the time, I could only understand half of the song. Yet, I did not pay much attention to meaning.
It was not until I became older and had more access to English learning materials. And some parts of the song I did not understand then became meaningful.
I started reading more books, English fiction. I listened to songs from different genres.
The tricks I have learned are reading aloud and singing along. I did that every day, and I still do.

I'll be back with part three.
Thanks for reading:)
