To learn from the songs, however, you must do more than read the translations we have provided for you. You must master the songs in the original, paying atention to how the sounds make the words, how the words make the thoughts, and how the thoughts reflect British and American cultures.However, these songs also provide examples of an informal spoken English that one rarely finds in textbooks. Indeed, within these songs you will find informal expressions, vocabulary, and even grammatical structures which will help you to understand everyday spoken English.
We recommend that, after satisfying your natural curiosity to read what the songs say in your own language, you read through a whole song in English as you listen. Don't jump from the English to the Spanish translation, worrying about every unfamiliar word.
Instead, try to understand as much as you can form the English alone. This will help you become familiar with the "flow" of English. You can figure out unfamiliar words later with the help of our translations and your own dictionary. Good luck and have fun!
