Tom: Jess, you were talking before about mistakes that your Hungarian students always made, and how some students from the same country all make the same mistakes again and again and again. Well, I work here in Thailand and they have a very cute phrase , "same, same" which I think means to describe something as being the same as something else, I spend five - ten minutes talking to a student explaining that instead of using same same, she should use "the same as" and I was trying to get this phrase over to her and finally she understood what I meant and she looked at me and said, "Ah, same as same same same same".

Jess: In Spain I think the most common mistake was that in Spanish the noun people is a singular noun . You would say "le gente es" so when my Spanish speakers would use this noun they would always say, "Oh the people is very hungry" or "the people is very quiet" and I spent most of my time in Spain going "are - are -are" after these, the people even upper intermediate, advanced learners will still making that mistake.

There are several thing that I don't like about using music.

1. Unless you listen to rap, it doesn't sound like natural speech.
2. Most musicians use incorrect grammar.
3. Musicians often say things that are not normal for us to say in a real conversation.

I think listening to music is a great, fun way to learn new vocabulary, expressions, etc.

However, when you want to improve your listening, I think that listening to speaking is much more useful than listening to singing.
