A simple activity you can do to learn English through music on you own is to use Google translate and lyrics websites to understand the story of a song. First, pick a song that you like. Then take the first line and copy and paste it into google translate. This program has a function to hear the speech of the text. It is computer generated so it will not be perfect. It will also have a rough translation of the meaning in a literal (semantic) sense. Use this tool to piece together the story of the song line by line. The literal meaning is not likely to be the true meaning of the song (pragmatic meaning). Your task is to try to interpret the story and find the true meaning behind the song. Try speaking the lyrics as well as singing the song.
