爱华网听音乐也能学习英语哦
It’s a well-known fact that music can be an effective tool for learning a foreign language. Like original-version films, song lyrics are a good source of vocabulary and expressions that you can memorize—and have fun doing so. Furthermore, listening to or humming foreign songs helps you improve your pronunciation.
众所周知，音乐是学习外语一种有效的工具。就如同原版电影一样，歌词里的丰富词汇和表达供你记忆，——并且能让你乐在其中。不仅如此，听或者哼唱外语歌曲能够改善你的发音。
Learning a language while listening to music: How to get better results?
在听音乐的同时学习一门语言：如何能够得得到更好的结果呢?
When listening to a foreign-language song, we too often don’t pay enough attention to the lyrics (passive listening). Consequently, this doesn’t help us improve our level of language. Here are 5 steps to optimizing your learning with music and enjoying yourself at the same time:
当我们在听一首外语歌曲的时候，我们对于歌词常常不会太注意(被动倾听)。所以这样的听歌方式并不能提升我们的语言水平。以下是能够让你在享受音乐的同时优化外语学习的五个步骤：
1. Choose a song that you like
选一首你喜欢的歌曲
You don’t have to go out of your way to find music to listen to. Instead, you should start with songs that you already listen to. Then, look up the lyrics to the songs you like.
你不必花费额外的精力去寻找音乐来听，而是应该从你已经听过的歌曲开始，然后开始查阅你所喜欢的歌曲歌词。
2. Try to sing or hum the song without looking
尽量不看歌词听歌哼曲
If you want to improve your pronunciation, you should sing the song—trying your best to pronounce the words properly—without reading the lyrics. In fact, as soon as you try to sing the song by reading the lyrics, you’ll pick back up your bad pronunciation habits. It’s O.K. if you don’t understand the meaning of what you’re singing: The point of this step is to pronounce the words well.
如果你想要完善你的发音，你应该唱出这首歌曲——竭尽所能去正确地发出每个单词的读音，而不是读歌词。实际上，一旦你念着歌词唱歌，就等于在重拾你那糟糕的发音习惯。即使你不明白你所唱的歌词内容也无所谓：这一步骤的关键是正确的发音。
3. Look up the lyrics
查阅歌词
Next, you can look up the lyrics on the Internet. To do this, Google “lyrics Name of Song” (or letras = “lyrics” in Spanish, or paroles in French). If you need a translation, search “translation lyrics Name of Song” to find what you’re looking for in just a few clicks.
接下来你就可以在网上查阅歌词了。用谷歌中搜索“lyrics(歌词) 曲名”(西班牙语的歌词输“letras”，法语歌词输“paroles”)。如果需要歌词的译文，可以搜索“translation lyrics(歌词翻译) 曲名”，这样轻点鼠标，即得所需。
4. Listen to the song while reading the lyrics
边听歌边看歌词
When you actually listen to the music with the lyrics, you’ll be surprised at how many words and phrases you already knew, but just hadn’t realized until now. (It’s not always easy to understand the lyrics of a foreign-language song on your own.)
当你看着歌词听音乐的时候，你会惊讶地发现你已经知道那么多单词和词组，只是你还没有意识到罢了。(靠自己来理解一首歌的歌词往往并不容易。)
5. Listen to the song again and sing along
反复听歌并跟唱
Now that you know the words and have grasped the general meaning of the song, you can continue to listen to the song while singing along. Once you’re fixed on your favorite song, you’ll certainly want to sing it while driving or taking a shower, before you know it, you’ll have memorized the song!
既然现在你已经认识了这些单词，且能把握这首歌曲的大意，你可以继续听且跟着唱了。一旦你专注于你最爱的那首歌时，你肯定会不由自主地在开车、洗澡或者其他时候唱出来。在你还没意识到的时候，自己已经牢牢记住了这首歌哦!
Repetition is one of the fundamental pillars of memorization. If you follow these 5 steps, I can guarantee that you’ll significantly improve. Learning a language with music is fun and takes minimal effort.
重复是记忆的基本支柱之一。如果你遵循这五个步骤，我可以向你保证你将会有显著的进步。跟着音乐学习语言不仅是一件趣事也是一件易事。这也是对于MosaLingua间歇重复记忆法很好的补充。
