Everyone knows that the best way to learn a foreign language is through song! Which is why Culture Yard is opening a new class which will help you improve your English vocabulary, pronunciation, conversational and expression skills – while still having fun!

We understand learning a new language can be very difficult and classes can become boring.

Taught by an American teacher and former musician, who knows all the classics that will keep the class from ever having a boring and dull moment!  

Each class will focus on a different popular song from various genres of American music suiting all tastes of music. Through music students will learn important vocabulary and English expressions, learn about different genres of American music and how to analyse and appreciate the history behind American music. But overall it is a course to enjoy and have fun singing together to popular tunes that you will learn once and remember forever.
