Learning English idioms in popular songs with Lana Chubakha
About course
Songs in English are often full of fixed expressions (idioms) that can’t be translated literally - they do not always make sense if you translate them word for word. For example, another one bites the dust is not about eating dust at all, and working the graveyard shift has nothing to do with a cemetery.
In our B1-level course, we explain such phrases using popular hits by Queen, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Adele, Robbie Williams, and Imagine Dragons.
One special feature of the course is a video featuring stand-up comedian, Underground Stand-Up resident, and musician Lana Chubakha. Not only does she perform these songs but also breaks down their real meaning in a fun and engaging way.
Together, we will both learn what these expressions mean and practice them so you never forget what your favorite artists are really singing about.
