Studying with music: Is it possible? 🤔 Studying with music doesn’t consist only of listening to a song, but also of checking the lyrics and learning new words, terms and expressions.

I bet you’ve already learned lots of words and expressions through music. Check some songs out:

🎵I used to roll the dice, Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes. Listen as the crowd would sing

🎵Hey now, hey now

What's the matter with you?

Girls just wanna have fun now

🎵And I know it's hard when you're falling down And it's a long way up when you hit the ground Get up, now!
