Learn English through Rock

John Nanakamado

The lyrics (歌詞) of songs can be great for studying English, they are full of interesting vocab, idioms, and natural expressions. But they often deliberately use bad grammar and surprising words. So, it is difficult to study English by yourself using lyrics. However, if you study songs you like with a native speaker who also enjoys the music, you can learn so many great things.

 I love the rock music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, so I have made a new Cafetalk lesson about rock. In the class we can enjoy talking about rock while learning some great and natural expressions. So, if you enjoy English and rock music, let’s talk.
