1. LEARNING ENGLISH AND OTHER LANGUAGES

Well, this is actually a very hard one to find songs for - I really can't remember anyone singing a song about learning English, though there are plenty of classics that I'm sure students know from their early adventures in English, such as these:

One suitable song, judging by the way some students seem to forget the basics, is this classic:

However, over the years I have collected a large amount of videos, some of which I use in my lessons, which are fun and from which you can also get some ideas of what to talk about with this topic. Here is a selection:

The History of English in 10 minutes (a very useful & funny overview of how English developed):

The German Coastguard (a funny example of why it is hard for foreigners, especially Germans, to use the 'th' sound):

Inspector Clouseau -(the problems the French have!):

The Super Interpreter (how other languages sound to the English!):

Alex Rawlings - (a young man who has learnt 11 different languages!):

Pronunciation Poem (to help with some common mistakes):

How German sounds compared to other languages (great fun, and good to compare the other languages!):

And last, but not least, if you feel that (as a Czech) your English is not very good, then this guy will make you feel MUCH better ;-)
