Learning and practicing English with The Beatles

The beatles are one of the most (if not the most of them all) popular and famous pop music bands of all times.



Their songs are fresh, melodic, funny and somehow, wonderful. But there is an additional treasure in The Beatles' songs.... they are so well written!! That means we can learn and practice English just listening to their music and lyrics!



One example:
The song "All together now".
You can practice NUMBERS, ALPHABET and GAMES & ACTIONS. Besides, it's such a funny song!!
You can listen to the song here:

You don't really need the lyrics, because... they are so easy and even embedded in the video!!
It looks like The Beatles wanted to make an educational video with this song!!

Other example using a Beatles' song to practice your english. Practice the numbers until 64 listening to this nice song (and enjoy the cartoons on screen, I'm sure your kids will love them!).

And don't miss the cartoon film "Yellow submarine". It is a lovely film about adventures, fantasy, magic, music, dreams and artistry, in the way it was made.
