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!)

Burl Ives

Shanghied

 

Shanghied

(album: The Versatile Burl Ives! - 1961)


I played around in Chinatown
Just a-passing time away
When blackjack red hit me in the head
And when I woke up next day, I was many miles away

I was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
I was shanghaied eating beans and taters
I was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
And I wanna get back to shore, back to the Gold Coast Shore

They threw me off in old Hong Kong
Put me on my own
Not a penny in my pocket, ten thousand miles from home
That's a mighty long way from home

I was shanghaied in old Hong Kong
I was shanghaied, I was all alone
I was shanghaied, wanna get back home
Back to the Gold Coast Shore, back to the Gold Coast Shore

I worked for grub on an old Dutch tub
Wound up in L.A
Where a pretty little girl took me on a whirl
And when I woke up next day, when I woke up next day...

I was shanghaied for the rest of my life
I was shanghaied, but that's all right
I was shanghaied, got a pretty little wife
And I'm never leaving home no more, never leaving home no more

done

Did you add all the unfamiliar words from this song?
