I don't like studyin, especially English because learning English is just my hobby.
Recently I took TOEIC and studied (a little). However, after taking it, I considered the best way to brush English skill up is not "studying" but "using."
For this reason, today I came up with the idea how I can naturally use English without studying and the answer is simple, "singing a song"!
Singing a song is my another hobby. I like Karaoke and I can sing many kinds of songs. To tell the truth, I'm proud of myself that I can sing with 3 octaves
though the other my family member just sing with a octave. So, I have the opportunity to enjoy English even with songs!
Today, I sang "A whole new world,""Beauty and the beast," and "Under the sea." Yes, all of these songs are Disney's! The reason why I chose these is that I thought the pronunciation of these songs are so clear in order that Disney movies are for children. In addition, especially "under the sea" is good for practicing the mouth. It contains tongue twister. It was good challege for me! When I sang them, I was very careful my pronunciation expressly "l" and "r." I'm not good at distinguish "l" and "r." After singing one of the songs, I listened the recording voice that I sang just now. Though I was embrrassed, it is precious not to fail speaking in front of people. And at last, I sang without being careful for my sound production and listened it again. I thought my tongue chaged better!
If you are interestend in it, please try it! Or if you have the favorite other songs, you should try it! As for me, I want to try "Avril Lagvine" next time since I think her pronounciation is good.
