Learn Languages through Songs and Lyrics: Lyricstraining

From the earliest stage of life, humans have already started to murmur and parents even use motherese or baby talk just to get babies to talk. Babies make sounds. They coo with rhythm and pitches to tell that they are hungry. As they grow up, they will be exposed to nursery rhymes and songs like "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or "London Bridge is falling down" as such. Everything around us in fact are related to sound and music. Research has been done and it is recognised that music can help in children's cognitive development and a recent talk that I had attended by Karen Ludke who presented a little background of her current research, had helped to provide clarity to how effective music is in language learning. With this, all I can say that Lyricstraining is perceptive to use its trump card, music, in order to get a place in language learning field.

Generate Word Cloud: Wordle

I first came across Wordle when I read a book by, an influential British linguist DavidCrystal, called “a Little Book of Language”. It is very useful when it comes to sifting words according to frequency of usage in a text or that you want to create an art out of your favourite words. The size of the visualization of a word will be relative to how many times it appears in your text.
