Flashermac Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 << My girlfriend downloads songs and looks up the lyrics on the web. But when she sings them back to me she omits words like she does when speaking. >> Oh, dear. 'English through songs' was popular some years ago. The idea is to get learners in the habit of using correct grammar. The problem is overcoming bad habits already acquired, which is never easy. Also, it's second nature to use the grammar of your own language in another - which in this case doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 TB Left himself wide open for that, ripe for the taking. I wonder if "You can't always get what you want" is how she refuses his request for a BJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't know how she would respond, but I'll bet old TB was singing the Cocksucker Blues: TUp33Pbrxmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 My wife's English improves all the time. She listens to the English songs and even sings some oof them. Sometimes I am surprised what words she does know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
