There are so many people that I have had a students that love music from the United States, but never translate the songs. So essentially they sing the songs all the time they love the songs, but don’t know what they’re saying and miss the opportunity to use the song to learn English grammar and vocabulary.
Aside from that many of the people that I met here in Brazil love rap music, they love, 2Pac, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, mini groups. They constantly talk about the violence in our communities, but they asked me why I decided to move to Brazil when I lived in a place less violent. And I say, why aren’t you a super fan of these groups? Don’t you listen to the crazy violence that they talk about they even say no, or they think it’s fake, which leads me to believe that people need to work on their level of curiosity to be able to adequately efficiently learn English through things that you already like to do and to learn that there are other places that are bad and have crime and violence. Brazil is not the only place in the world OK.
Let’s be more curious in our English learn journey
