When I heard about John Lennon's assassination in December 1980, I was taking the first steps onto a path I have walked for over 30 years. His music was the starting point for my wanting to understand his ideas firsthand. This is in the heart of this idea: using music as a window to language and culture. Hopefully, we'll beable to feed this blog with lots of cultural and musical notes.
Thanks for joining us on this journey.
My interest in American pop music when I was a kid and a teeneager also had a lot to do with my interest in mastering English. I always did use songs as a fun way to learn English as well, and still do. As a teacher, I always find time to bring in songs for my students, esecially those popular ones that play on the radio all the time. Here is one of my blog posts with song videos I posted for one of my Prime classes: http://alexctjblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/prime-communication-more-music.html
