“Paradise” – Coldplay

 

“Paradise” – Coldplay

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she’d fly.

And dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La la la La
La la la

So lying underneath those stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun must set to rise.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

Small Kids ESL Videos

naturalesl

As you know, music is one of my big secrets for teaching.  Music is great for all kinds of teaching really, but it works amazingly with ESL learners.  I just wrote an article about my favorite Musical Movies for ESL Learning, however, for younger children there are some different recommendations.  By younger kids, I mean any age before 9 years old.  Several recommendations from the “Musical Movies For ESL Learning” article are great too.  But there are definitely several more that fit better with younger children.

Super Genius Kids 슈퍼 영어천재 키즈

 

bondwelcThese were my Super-Star students from Kwang Nam Elementary School in Seoul. This was one of my favorite schools and experiences for sure. You can see how well my “Bondaygee ESL System” works here. Mind you the students were pretty nervous doing their little recitals and did their best to say the words as fast as possible. If you were to talk to them and normal speed they could answer with near perfect pronunciation. Click a student to hear their recitals and the “Browser Back” button to go back to start.  The story about these great students can be found here at “The Amazing ESL Story”.bondwelc

Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson-“Good Time”

Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson-“Good Time”

Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What’s up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you’re down to get down tonight (Meaning: Raise your hands if you want to party tonight)
Cuz it’s always a good time.

Slept in all my clothes like I didn’t care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I’m in if you’re down to get down tonight (Meaning: “I’m in”= I want to, “get down”=to party)
Cuz it’s always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It’s gonna be alright
We don’t even have to try
It’s always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time.

Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room hit the ATM
Let’s hang out if you’re down to get down tonight
Cuz it’s always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It’s gonna be alright we don’t even have to try
It’s always a good time.

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time.

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time.

Doesn’t matter when
It’s always a good time then
Doesn’t matter where
It’s always a good time there

Doesn’t matter when,
It’s always a good time then

It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time.

Fun and Free ESL For Korea

SHOW ME THE FREE ESL SYSTEM!

 Take a free ESL Quiz! And much more here! 

This is a fun and free musical ESL System I created back in Korea over ten years of teaching English and learning Korean Language and Culture.  It’s a great way to study either English or Korean.  The idea is you memorize a list of the most commonly used English/Korean words by singing them.  In short time you can memorize all the words and each time you practice the song you will improve your pronunciation.  Because you’re studying music, the songs leave deep, unforgettable impressions in your mind, heart and soul.  I still remember all the songs and I made them 10 years ago.  Check it out and see some of the student/school case study stories. I’ve used this system in public schools with awesome success!  Here’s the link: System.bondaygee.com
