Sharpening your English listening with lyrics

All of us have problems understanding song lyrics in foreign languages, even in our native language, and it's funny all the different theories that arise from what everyone thinks they listen, hahaha!

Don't you trust me? Well, regarding English may be you'll trust the BBC:

Quiz: Have you been getting these lyrics wrong all this time?

It's a little quiz where you'll have to choose among 3 choices what is sung in certain moments of 10 famous songs.

The quiz includes the videos pointing to the exact moment of the song where you have to pay attention.

Don't forget to read the little explanation you get after choosing.

A tip, pay attention to the starting time and if you need it, you can rewind easily using the scroll bar as many times as you want.

I hope you enjoy it!

  1. Carlos, thank you very much for your post. I enjoyed this quiz so much. The possibilities they give you are hilarious. I must confess that I only got right half of them...and only because I used "my" common sense. But, as we know, common sense is the least common of the senses. Ha, ha, ha!
    Your link is an example of how much fun we can have while practising our English. It's so you too... ha, ha, ha.
    Thanks a lot again.
