You usually ask me about the title of songs yo like. Why don't you listen to them at the same time that you practise your English? I have selected two of the songs you told me in class: one for those who feel like dancing and the other one for those who prefer a more relaxed plan. You can select which level of difficulty you prefer to complete the lyrics while you listen to them. The song stops when you have to include a new word. If you have more doubts about it, ask me in class or go to the link "help".  I hope you enjoy them!
