LyricsTraining
If you are a music lover, you must not miss this learning platform. You can access LyricsTraining online or via an app. This platform can be a way to train your listening skills and broaden your vocabulary. To get started, people can search the songs they want to listen to, then choose the 'target' language. There are currently 12 languages in addition to English. Therefore, people can also learn the third, the fourth languages on the platform.
There are four levels ( the high level, more blanked spaces). People need to listen to the lyrics and choose the lyrics to fill in the blank. Therefore, people can be trained and enjoy music at the same time. When people choose the wrong word, the word will be saved in your vocab list, where translation in different languages is provided.

YouTube
This is a worldwide free platform for the public to upload their videos or watch the video uploaded by others. I guess most of you must have used this platform, but have you learnt language from YouTube? Actually, YouTube is a very useful platform for learning, there are different 'teachers' and you can choose the most suitable teacher.
Netflix
Netflix
This is also a worldwide video platform offering original and other films. Although it is not free of charge, people in Hong Kong are willing to join their plan to acquire the service. People can also apply for the double subtitle function so that they can learn other languages by comparing the mother tongue and the target languages.

I usually 'play' the LyricsTraning through the mobile phone when I am free outside. It combines music videos, songs, and games. I am very weak at listening and vocabulary, this app is useful for training my listening skills. When I am just listening to the song, I may only focus on the melody but not the lyrics, this app provides a chance for me to learn English, enjoy the songs, and understand the lyric at the same time.
When I am at home, watching the movie through Nexflix and Youtube is my hobby. 'Learning English with TV Series' and '阿滴英文' is my ' English teachers' on Youtube. I can learn grammar, vocabulary, and speaking through their short videos. I usually watch some English programs on Netflix. Aim to improve my vocabulary, grammar, and listening skill. Netflix provides subtitles in different language and double subtitle function, which are very convenient for me to learn a language and relax at the same time. Learning in an interesting way is more effective than learning from books and words.
People may think learning is very boring. However, technology develops rapidly and there are many methods or platforms provide for the public. You can find your suitable way to study instead of learning traditionally through books. Online or mobile platforms are very useful and efficient for our learning. If you are a music and movie lover like me, why don't try to learn from your favorite? Take the first step, and you will find an interesting way of learning!
