What American/British/otherwise sung in English songs do you think would be good/accessible for beginners in Korean? I think my listening classes are really boring (and really easy!) and adding music would be fun for me AND for the kids.
I'm trying to think of stuff without complicated/obscure vocabulary and well-enunciated lyrics (so no Kurt Cobain or John Fogerty) but my mind's drawing a blank.

If you have younger kids, try Peter, Paul and Mommy, or the Beatles for older kids. Easy to understand, and timeless.

thinking about the kiddy music i used to play in the van .... if you have younger kids there's the ever-popular B-I--N-G-O (or the alphabet song?) i'm still thinking about older kids

Mom: they're not younger, they're like 13 and 14 years old.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Beatles: All You Need Is Love (teach passive voice!), Yellow Submarine, Yesterday
ReplyDeleteBarenaked Ladies: If I Had A Million Dollars - If/Then statements = fucking brilliant.
Basically, slower things worked nicely for me. Any folk songs you have, that'd probably be good - Red River Valley, for example? That's all I can think of for now, I'll think a bit more.
yeah -- i thought of folk songs, too (altho Puff the Magic Dragon will take a bit of explaining)
ReplyDeleteYes puff the magic dragon will take a bit of explaining, all of teh drug innuendos
