How to talk about music in English: styles, genres and other vocabulary
About course
Music makes the people come together: we listen to and adore the same artists regardless of where we live. However, how do you describe your favourite song in English in a conversation with music fans? This course will teach you how to do that!
This course is designed for learners with an intermediate level of English, but would like to describe different genres of music without having to look up the necessary words. You will have learned the essential vocabulary: music genres, objects, parts of a song, how to describe a song, and how to learn different adjectives to describe melodies, rhythm and vocals.
This course includes various practical tasks that include audio and video files that would make the associations easier, while the flashcards will help you memorise the new vocabulary items.
Having completed this course you will easily be able to discuss your music preferences, evaluate your favourite songs and share your impressions with others.
