Episode 12

Yasi:Hello there! Welcome to the bonus episode!

Nikoo: Bonus means extra and positive like an advantage. I mean we added this
lesson to the course to make it more advantageous for you.

Nikoo: In this episode we are going to do something fun and different!

Yasi: Something related to music and cities! But first, NiKoo, tell us are you into
music?

Nikoo: Oh yeah, I’ve always been into music.. Especially English songs

Yasi: Oh really?

Nikoo: As a student I would listen to English songs and memorize them, and it
worked so well for me .

Yasi: Right. I always tell my students to find something that you enjoy doing, such
as listening to English songs, reading books and …. So Nikoo how can students
improve their English by listening to music?

Nikoo: I recommend listening to simple songs. I mean the songs that have a slow
rhythm. They should listen to the song more than once, maybe even 10 times. Then
they have to try to guess the lyrics. They can write the lyrics down, then when they
are done, they can google the song.

Yasi: What do you mean by google?

Nikoo: Google as a verb means to search it online using Google

Yasi: Aha! So we can find the lyrics of a song on google?

Nikoo: Exactly. You can search things like “Maria Carrey- Without You Lyrics”

Nikoo: So Yasi shall we get started?
