GreyLupine:...Dad: With a little help from my Fred!<br /><br />GreyLupine: Intelligibility aside, how could you trust what you learned? Can you imagine ESL students trying the same trick?

In the course of learning a foreign language, quite a few people would offer "listen to music!!" as if it's some great way to learn new words in a language you're still trying to master. Maybe if you have some sort of super-hearing. But my reply was always the same, and directly related to this -- There are metric buttloads of songs in English I couldn't hope to understand, how in the hell am I going to understand lyrics in a foreign language and how is taht supposed to improve my skill with that language? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-24580303518303391352010-10-31T02:54:33.968-07:002010-10-31T02:54:33.968-07:00I googled something and followed a link, and someh...I googled something and followed a link, and somehow they said they had texted the lyrics to my cellphone. Unfortunately, I don't know how to read text messages, but maybe you can figure it out in a month when we see you.<br /><br />I have never been able to understand music lyrics, going all the way back to the early 1950s when rock and roll began. There are a bunch of music videos on the web by Joe Cocker with subtitles which are hilarious, because the made up lyrics are funny, and he could have been singing them.John Wengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368930634136477638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-46403783829633911832010-10-30T11:28:54.472-07:002010-10-30T11:28:54.472-07:00I thought of contacting his publisher, but I doubt...I thought of contacting his publisher, but I doubt it would do much good. Leon Russell has a lot of fans, many of whom must want those lyrics. If they're not out there in a day and age when you can find the words to just about any obscure song you want, there has to be a reason. Right? It's not like no one else would have thought to ask.<br /><br />I'll think about it, though. :)cinderkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578961959712679966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-72844843172650913632010-10-30T11:10:33.008-07:002010-10-30T11:10:33.008-07:00It is weird that they're not out there somewhe...It is weird that they're not out there somewhere. Maybe you could write to his publisher? <br /><br />Regardless, I'm with you, in this day and age, I'm entitled to lyrics!Jeff Shattuckhttp://hnoreply@blogger.com
