218. English With Lizzo: 'About Damn Time' Pronunciation Tutorial
About this episode
Sometimes it's HARD to understand the lyrics of songs when you're listening to it for the first time. There's so much information coming your way – the melody, rhythm, stress, and of course words.
Yet, I think it's such a great tool to use when practicing English.
It strengthens not only our vocabulary but also our listening skills and pronunciation – especially when it comes to rhythm and connected speech.
In this episode I'll use a huge hit by Lizzo, About Damn Time, and really break it down and explore the beat, the stress and reductions, and everything that makes this song so awesome.
