Karen at Karaoke Party

Hi! Nelba... I'm Karen:
 
I chose the song "My heart will go on" because it is the song of my favorite film, Titanic, because I love the lyrics and I enjoy listening to  Celine Dion... I like the activity of the karaoke party a lot to improve my pronounciation. I love singing so, I like this activity. I think it was a great idea to work on that website, I' ll continue using that page for practicing my English pronounciation. 

See you!! 

 Thank you , Karen  for  your comment! I am very happy to know you liked the activity . Hugs, Nelba

Let's sing !

Dear all:

I have visited María Clara Bouvier’s course (See comment below about their response to the previous post), Jóvenes 5B, and they told me that they do not like Lady Gaga. Their favourite singers and groups are: Maroon 5, Oasis, Eminem, among others. What about you? Leave your responses in "comments" , please.

Surfing the net, I came across this website  Karoke Party  and loved it. Isn´t it cool for practising your English pronounciation ?



How does it work?You only need a microphone.  You choose the song you want to sing, wait till it is buffered and the lyrics appear to be sung at the pace of the music.

You get a mark after singing. I am afraid my mark on intonation - not pronounciation- was not very good  when I tried it :(  Look at the results in the image below:



Activity to do at home: 
  • Visit Karaoke party website - it will be cool if you invite a classmate ;)
  • choose a song of your favourite group and/or singer,
  • sing it and take a shot of the screen showing your result (like the one above), then open PAINT and paste the image.
  • Save it as *.JPG file and send it to me (escuelaunlp@yahoo.com.ar) + some lines saying why you chose that song + your opinion of this tool to improve your pronounciation. Remeber to include: Name + course

Congratulations to the students of  Jóvenes 5B, because they did a great job in the previous post. There were a few typing mistakes. Keep working like this!

Improving our English Pronounciation: Do you like singing?

Hello, 


May 25th



How are you? Enjoying this looonnnnnggg weekend? 
I am sure you are!  so am I ;-)

I like music and singing - who does not? I listen to music as often as I can: when I go walking, do some housework or work. I sometimes find it difficult to concentrate on work when I listen to music because if I like the song, I stop working and start singing!!!

You only need a microphone, a good voice (ideally), choose the song you want to sing, wait till it is buffered and the lyrics appear to be sung at the pace of the music.

You get a mark after singing. I am afraid my mark on 
intonation - not pronounciation- is not very good
