Day #38 - Ones again - English singing and vocabulary building

In last post I wrote about excellent service called Lyrics Training - very useful for learning with lyrics.

This time I want to introduce you a second service which has quite interesting features to help you learn with songs.

The service is called FluentU and can be find on this website: http://www.fluentu.com

All you have to do to use it is creating an account and sign in.

Then you can see that the service offers you not only some music videos but also wide range of shorts films.

This time we are looking for songs so we’re browsing for them.

There is one, but very unpleasant nuisance – the service can be used for free, but most materials are available to paid accounts. You can easily recognise pro materials – they are signed with the logo of the service in their right corners. However I found the service worth to use.  

Even this minor free part is interesting enough to give the service a try. It doesn’t make a big problem for me, I’m usually bored with tools quickly and like to change them often, so there is only small possibility than I would use more than the free part of the FluentU.

OK. So let’s look more carefully what we have here.

There is one, very suitable feature – learning new words with definitions, examples of use and pronunciation. So you not only learn lyrics with the service but also can understand them with its help.

You can memorise vocabulary by doing exercises. 

And all this with the music video as a main subject.

The service use some elements of gamification to motivate us more, with can be very importent for some of us.

Of course you have to decide by yourself if you like it or not, but it's good to know that you get something like this service.

I found learning with songs very entertaining and efficient so I looked for other possibilities and tools helpful with it.  I’m going to write about them in next posts.
