My eldest son
likes sports and music very much. His favorite sports are: football, volleyball,
handball, tennis, swimming and cycling. I’m glad that he spends a great amount
of his time practicing sports instead of using his computer all the time.
Apart from
that he enjoys listening to the music and singing as well. One of his
favorite songs is “The Fox”.
If he likes
a specific song he looks up the lyric for this song on the Internet. I noticed
that the memorizing the lyrics of a song is quite an easy task for him.
Obviously, he doesn’t understand all the words but he often tries to explain
their meaning. Sometimes, I ask him:
- - Don’t
you spend so much time of listening to the music instead of learning something for the school?
But he answers me:
- - “Mum,
I’m just learning English!”
What do you
think about this way of learning a foreign language?
In my
opinion, it’s a good idea to learn English or French trough songs!
By the way,
his favorite song in French is “Papaoutai”.
I think your son is such a clever boy! Listening to the music is not only a good way to learn new words, but also to learn a prononciation and the culture :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)
Yes, he also develops his musical abilities. Learning by music is a good, active and atractive way to learn something new :)
