Hello! I'm Lyrkit!

I tried many ways to memorize English words and found the most effective one for me!

We already have all the words of the songs that we have heard throughout our lives in our memory. We simply did not pay attention to them, but we all already hear them!

I noticed that when you learn a new word from a song that you have already heard before, you already know the translation of this word forever and you will never forget it!

I want to share this method with you. So, the scheme is as follows.

We find songs that we have already heard.

We add all unfamiliar words from them.

We pass mini tests of memory games. done

Now that you know a lot of words, you will very quickly come to know the whole language!

I bet you'll be surprised how effective this method is!)

John Henry

 

John Henry

(album: Men: Songs For And About Men - 1955)


John Henry told his captain
That a man was nothing but a man
Before he'd let that steam drill run him down
He fought it with his hammer in his hand
Fought it with his hammer in his hand

The captain said to John Henry
"Gonna bring me a steam drill round
Gonna take that steam drill out on the job
Gonna whoop that steel on down
Gonna whoop that steel on down"

The captain said to his shaker
"Shaker, why don't you sing?"
"I'm throwing twelve pounds from the hips on down
Just listen to that cold steel ring
Listen to that cold steel ring"

The captain said to John Henry
"I think this mountain's caving in"
John Henry gave one long and lonesome cry
Said "That's only my hammer sucking wind
That's only my hammer sucking wind"

John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Polly Ann
When John Henry was sick and a-laying in bed
Polly drove steel like a man
Polly drove steel like a man

"Where did you get that dress, gal?
Where did you get those shoes so fine?"
"I got that dress from off a railroad man
And the shoes from a driver in the mine
And shoes from a driver in the mine"

John Henry went down to the railroad
With the twelve-pound hammer by his side
He walked down the track but he didn't come back
Cos he laid down his hammer and he died
He laid down his hammer and he died
