English Song Night

Got invited to "English Song Night" at Bach Khoa University, had a very good time. The nature of the meeting was that 2 songs were being presented by teachers, with missing blanks and meanings being of the song being explained. An innovative and interesting way to learn English!

I also noticed the atmosphere was rather good, and the students were very much willing to learn and sing these songs to improve their English. The two songs that were sang were "I Will Remember You" and "Don't Worry, Be Happy", generally written in the context of the culture which the song originated from, such as "Don't Worry , Be Happy", which came from a Jamaica and hence used English slangs that were used in Jamaica and lyrics that were sort of in a relaxed tone. This, I thought , was a good way to learn different cultures as well.
