California Dreaming- The Mamas and the Papas

California Dreaming is a popular American song from the 1960s you can use to take your listening skills and English vocabulary to the next level, especially if you are a beginner. For example, you will learn vocabulary about the weather and the seasons (“cold winter’s day”, “scorching hot”, “windy”) and colours (brown, grey, red), as the poetic persona expresses his longing for the warmth of California’s weather. Also, the singer pronounces very clearly and the song is relatively slow-paced, making it a great resource to practise your listening comprehension skills and even sing along to via karaoke!

The Lazy Song- Bruno Mars

The song is about a man who does not want to go to work but wants to stay at home. With The Lazy Song, you will get familiar with the future tense (“I’m gonna kick my feet up...”, “I will not wake up”) and vocabulary to speak about home activities, like chilling, snuggling, lying in bed and more. Also, it has colloquial expressions that make the song suitable for intermediate and advanced learners! Listen and susbcribe here!

New Rules -Dua Lipa

Do you like electropop and want to take your English skills to the next level while you enjoy great music? Then, Dua Lipa’s songs are great choices! This song, in particular, is about all the rules the singer sets to get over her ex-boyfriends and her determination to never look back. This track is good to learn more about the negative imperative and its informal variations, as the singer uses slang, like “ain’t” or “’em”. The fast-paced rhythm of the song and its somewhat complicated lyrics make it best for advanced learners of English. Listen and susbcribe here!
