Although the weather is not helping much I’ve decided to start this week in high spirits.
Curly: forming curves or circles
I’ve got curly fair hair
The pig has got a curly tail
Now, watch this funny add and see if you can understand it. Needless to say , you’ll need to understand the word curly .
Do you want to learn English and/or French, Italian, German… through music? Well, if this is so, this is your place. This cool site is called Lyrics Training and it’s just amazing and hear this ,free to use!
This is how it works: at the bottom on the right-hand side you can see some lyrics, choose according to your level. There are three: easy, medium and hard. Then, when the window with the song you’ve chosen opens up, choose your mode; again, there are three, beginner,(fill in the blanks10%), intermediate (25%) and expert (full lyrics).
Now, this is what you’ll see if you choose the song Tell him in the beginner mode. One of the best things is that if you get to a word and you can’t understand it or if it goes too fast, it will stop until the blank has been filled. The song literally WAITS for YOU!!!
But there’s even more. If you click on HELP at the bottom you can see what else the programme can do for you. Let’s imagine that you want to listen to the same line again, press Backspace, and if you are still unable to understand the word, don’t worry, just press TAB and the word will be written for you. Aren’t you dying to give it a go!!
and this is what you get
Now, the image above shows what Fur.ly looks like. At the top you can see a small bar displaying how many sites you can visit , there are also navigating arrows and a drop down menu.

An English teacher spent a lot of time marking grammatical errors on her students’ papers 
and was beginning to doubt whether she was getting through to them. One day as the stress got to her, she leaned over her desk and rubbed her temples.”What’s the matter, Mrs. D?” a passing student asked.
“Tense,” she mumbled.
The student hesitated a moment, then said, “What could be the matter? What has been the matter? What was the matter?”
Tense (adj) = feeling worried, uncomfortable, and unable to relax
Tense (noun) =any of the forms of a verb that show the time, continuance, or completion of an action or state that is expressed by the verb. ‘I am’ is in the present tense, ‘I was’ is past tense, and ‘I will be’ is future tense
