Oh , Imagine it's my favorite song I began to play this song since 1994
Great choice. It's such a wonderful song. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
I learned a Lot from Rock.Bands like Genesis,Pink Floyd,Yes.I like the Devil Went down to Geórgia,Imagine,Every breath you take.I would suggest Four non Blondes What's up.It's a good one.Songs by Queen,Elton John,Alanis Morissette and so on,and on,and on......
Create taste in misic.! If I were you, I'd add "killing me softly" to this selection. I just love your teaching style!

I love listening john legend song because there are a lot of vocabulary for example all of me this is a love story but I can learn a lot a words and Sam smith' song
Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. 😃
Wow! You're not just a good teacher but also an aspiring singer😄. I enjoyed myself. I'm laughing while watching this video. It's a bit funny and cute. I have watched a lot of your videos lately. And I would love to watch your upcoming lessons. You have what it takes💓💓😇
Dear Wes i always listening songs in english but my kind of music is a bit different like tom jones the beattles engelbert humperndick gloria gaynor and Elvis presley but your advice was very useful for me thanks a lot
Glad to hear that! Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
😁"Every breath you take" and "I'll survive" are my childhood favourites, sir. I love Oldies Goldies from 80s, most are Pop and Country, but I don't like 🤧John Lennon personally.
John Legend - All of me 💞😌
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
Great ذكي !!
Amazing lesson!!! you are very funny and a very good teacher as well. i and my family love your lessons. We all are improving a lot ,thanks to you. we feel like You and your beautiful family are part of mine, thank you so much!
After I watched all your lessons, I'm hoping I will get hired in the call center company I am planning to apply. Thanks wes ❤ sending love from Philippines.
Thanks for your comment. We wish you all the best in getting that job. 👍
I'm also planning to get call center job. But I'm not good at English and it always hurts me! what is why, I have watched the videos made by Interactive English. Thanks, Mr. Wes!
And could I get your response about English as both of we are going to apply for calling center job, #CreativeStudio ?
That's very funny I just got a B'day card recently with that song I will survive. I was thrilled with the card and will keep it forever.
Love your videos. Thanks a million.
Hi there, I am also an English teacher from South Florida. Songs do improve students' listening skills and pronunciation. You should have included The Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Barbra Streisand, Air Supply, Richard Marx, and the like. Keep up the good work. Best
Those are some other great choices. I'll have to do a Part 2 of this lesson. Thanks for commenting & have a great day. 👍
Omg, I really love Imagine by John Lennon, you're amazing innovating new ideas
I agree with you John. It's such a great song. Thanks for your comment. 👍
Wes ! You are doing hard day and night to teach us so thank you ...
Thanks so much Adam. I really appreciate your comment. Have a great day. 😊

Love this Video very much. You are not only introduce the songs for us to listen to practice our english, but the story of the song. I should pay attention to the message of the song while listening to them
Thank you teacher Wes.
Glad you liked it Maggie! 😊
Hello Wes. I'm an english teacher living in Turkey. Nice video. When i was in high school, the cult songs were beatles yesterday and emilia big big girl, i am sure every english teacher in studied in Turkey listened these two 😂 Now I have a four year old son, we love watching animation and nowadays Moana' soundtrack you're welcome and kung fu panda soundtrack everybody is kungfu fighting are our favourites which change a lot😀
Hi Fatma. It's always great to hear from other English teachers. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 😊👍
Thanks sir
Great job💪
So nice of you. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.
I suggest you " What wonderful word" Louis Armsrrong. Lovely lyrics .
Good call Walter. That's a great song. Thanks for sharing with us. 😊
I like too "I'll try" by Alan Jackson, it's very slow and I can listen the words clearly, and a good tip it's to listen with lyrics in the TH-cam,I always use it this to listen songs,thanks Wes,have a great week you and your family.
Nice. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Hope you have a great week too. 😊
Hey wes
You are absolutely unique in singing!
Why not you become a great singer!!!
Thanks for your comment. I feel that I need a bit more practice but I'll keep working on it. 😉👍
Great songs! I usually choose songs according to the grammar point, Obla di Obla da - present simple, Hotel California - past simple, Count on me - first conditional, etc.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson Javier. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 😃👍
Great songs! Starting with Imagine I thought it would be another boring list, but it turned out to be a great list.
I will definitely make a Spotify play list with all of them.
John Cash has fantastic songs for English learners and deserves to be included in there.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. And Johnny Cash is another great musician. 👍
I love all the songs that come with good melody and lyrics, I expect both to be good, melody and lyrics. E.g: Lonely by Akon, Sorry blame it on me by Akon, Thank you by Dido, White Flag by Dido, Lose yourself by Eminem, Way Back Into Love (the song from the movie Musics and Lyrics), I don't want to miss a thing by AeroSmith, Viva Forever by Spice Girls, Graduation by Vitamin C. All goodies from 80s, 90s seem to be good songs to me such as Always by Jon Bon Jovi, It must have been love by The Roxette, Amazing by Aerosmith, Seasons in the Sun, 500 Miles, Imagine by John Lennon, Every breath you take by the Police, What's up by 4 None Blondies, Live Live You Were Dying, I Should Have Been True (country songs, can't remember the name of the band who did it) Last Christmas, Careless Whisper by Wham, even Tarzan Boy by the Bantimore etc, just to name a few. BTW, Wes seems to be cut out to be a good actor, he seems do well with the songs.
Hi Cuong. Thanks for sharing all these other great songs. Music is such a great way to connect with a language. And I'm glad you think I might make a good actor. 😊👍
My pleasure
Just the first time come across to your channel...I really like the way you teach...all makes senses and not feeling pressured
You are so welcome. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😃
I like Christmas is all around song 😉
Nice. Me too. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 😊
I totally agree that music can improve my English skill. Love u so much,Mr Wes.
Thanks a lot Wes! I enjoyed every second of the American English you are using - the way it should be used by all the native speakers ;)
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for commenting & have a great day. 😊
I've enjoyed your video. My brother in law is from Chicago and I knew Allan Jackson's music thanks to him. I love country music. Great recommendations. I used them in my clases. Have a nice day Wes.
I remember the time when I didn't study English however I used to listen to music in English and that helped me a lot to build a good vocabulary and to have ideas about grammar, well, I'm aware that plenty of songs have grammar mistakes.
Thank you so much! I feel happy with your video! The teacher!🌹🌹🌹🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi Hanh. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Happy listening! 😊 🎵
Wes, thanks a lot for the awesome songs. I like all of them you recommend. I want to make some of them my own. Your vice fits all the songs!
Glad you found the lesson useful. I hope you enjoy listening to these different songs. 👍
My favorite song is one moment in time. And the Disney songs.
I really love your topic. I can use this one to my class.
That's great! Thanks for checking out the lesson. 👍
@@InteractiveEng you know I'm so happy upon searching for my motivational lesson in listening comprehension because I find it really helpful for my students improvement.
I always thought Cats in the Cradle was a song of Ugly Kid Joe, and today, thanks to this video I've just found out it was a cover. I recommend listening I will Survive by Cake, it´s a great cover and easy to understand. In my opinion, the easiest song to understand is Sea of Love sung by Robert Plant (ex Led Zeppelin).
Thanks so much for commenting & checking out the lesson. I appreciate you sharing with us. 👍
You are a pretty good singer, teacher Wes. 👍
Thanks! 😃
Interactive English is music to our ears.
Hi Mollie. Glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. Happy listening! 😃🎵

Hi Mr. Wes, I personally enjoy listening Adela like, for example: Someone like you. She has UK expression but I like it.
Great choice Karla. I love that song. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 😊
I' ve learned by listening the
Swedish Pop Group "A-TEENS"
My favourite was " Sugar Rush"
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Hope you have a great day. 😊
Hello Wes Teacher good morning from here, I like music pop-rock, slow rock ,jazz and metal music, and my favorite song " one-day in your life "" by Micheal jakson.this song reminds me of someone lost in my life .but I still difficulty when I listened other song without text, many words wrongs!Also I like boy street band and Weslife .thank you so much Wes teacher. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Ira. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Michael Jackson has some amazing songs. Hope you have a wonderful day as well. 😃👍
@@InteractiveEng you're welcome Wes teacher, yes he is! The King of pop Michael Jackson. 💕💕
I think music is a great tool to develop oral fluency too, because you have certain amount of time to sing a certain amount of words. I love to sing along and rock&roll is my favorite. Of course if you have the lyrics it will help a lot!
I love listening the song by Olivia Newton John.."Hopelessly devoted to you" It's in the movie Greese.I like it so much.Sometime II even use youtube Karaoke singing alone in my house😄🤣
That's great! Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
Hi. Great channel.

Hello from France! I suggest Turn me on by Norah Jones and Suzanne by Leonard Cohen. Both are slow with poetic lyrics.
Thanks for your video! Your Channel is great!
Those are great songs. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Have a great day. 😊
Amazing video ❤Devil went down to Georgia, I love that song. I used to live in Georgia, Love country music.❤
Yes, it's a great song. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Have a great Tuesday! 😊
Thanks for this lesson, it was a great video🤗
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment. 😃
Hi Wes! I was listening to your suggestions of choosing a song that we like. Well, my favourite song comes from Disney movies, for example, the one that I love is "Frozen" with the song "Let it go" or another that comes from a famous movie: "Rocky I, II, III" with the song "Eyes of the tiger". Those are really cool songs for me because I enjoy the music and the lyrics as well. Thanks a lot for sharing your tips!
I will survive, my favourite song, thank you 😊 Wes
Yes, that's a great song. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Jacob. 👍
I love to listen "I will survive" it is funny and describe a strong young woman. And also the other songs. Thank you
Thanks for sharing with us. It's such a great song. 👍
The first time I saw "I were" I was really confused, but after thinking a while I realized that it actually works the same way in Swedish, my mother tongue.
I saw "if I were" on an old postcard, sent to my Grandmother in 1912 from London, England.
I have to share, it's so cute!
I wish I were a china cup
In which you drink your tea
Then I'd know at every sup
You'd give a kiss to me.
😘☕
I also must tell, my No. 1 music is SPARKS. A group, or more likely two brothers from LA, CA, Ron and Russell Meal, who bring in what musicians they need for the moment. They have been active since late sixties, still going strong, a new album will be released pretty soon.
I can't understand why they aren't played more ( if at all!) on the radio and much better known. Really good music, many really catchy songs on every one of their 23 studio albums. And, in this case especially, very clever lyrics.
Very easy (lyrics in the comments) :

This is only three of nearing 300 songs, but this is where I improve my vocabulary! I have learned A LOT!
OF COURSE this IS NOT in disdain or anything near that! 💐
Your choice of songs are great!!😍
Some new to me and some making fantastic memories popping up!
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Anna. I'm not familiar with Sparks, but I'll have to check them out. 👍
Roxette takes the cake for me. I used to make copies of the original cassttes and cds to abuse them carelessly while rewinding the parts of the songs i wouldnt understand at first listening.
One more reason i guess to feel bummed about her passing.
I was just sharing..hehe.
I like your list. And your videos.
Great choice Dan. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
I have never heard of these songs before.
Thank you so much 😊
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Happy listening! 😊
lady in red by Chris DeBurgh is nice to listen and easy to understand as well
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
Feeling good for Nina Simone is my favourite
Thanks for checking out the lesson. 👍

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Happy listening. 😃🎵

Glad you enjoyed the lessons. Hope you like listening to these songs. 😉👍
Thank you my teacher
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for your comment. 😊
These videos are gold!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. 👍
Great video! I do love the vocabulary from Céline Dion's songs.
Additionally, I would say that other collection of songs that I really like is the one that comes from the movie Shrek since because they introduce songs from the 80's such as YMCA, I am a believer, etc.
Very good! 💖👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Larissa. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Have a great day! 😊
I like all your songs but i prefer faster songs and i try to pronounce their words 💟
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
oh my god i literally can understand everything you say
That's great. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 👍
thanks for the video... I'm from Brazil, I love to listen to rock in roll, my favorite band is Guns'N Roses

@@InteractiveEng It is certainly helpful sir. 😊👍
Love this 😍 So useful, thank you!
The winner takes it all-Abba
Great choice. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Have a great Tuesday! 😊
I've used ABBA "Money, money..." and "Hotel California" for learning English. They are not slow, but so nice :-)
Those are some other great songs. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
Thanks alot
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😃
I would have offered "I don't want to miss a thing" from Aerosmith because Steven Tyler is articulating so well in that song. "Crying" is also one of my favorite in this sense. I also listen sometimes "Take my breath away" which has a version where the lines of the song are also written and I can reasd it while listening. It is slow and understandable, it is the song of "Top Gun" with Tom Cruise. "Playing with the boys" also belongs to Top Gun and has English subtitles in the video. Have you seen these videos?
Those are some other great songs. Thanks for sharing with us Judit. 👍
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for your comment. 😃
thank you so much👍 i already love most of these songs
That's great. Glad you enjoyed my selection of songs. 😉 Hope you have a good one. 👍
I like to learn English by listening to music, specially the old ones I used to listen as a child. I know to sing the police song you mentioned in the video 😄
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Andre. Hope you have a wonderful day. 😊
Hello Wes thank you for the lesson I enjoyed if I were a boy by Beyonce I learnt alot and you've gained and Mary Christmas.

awesome lesson.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson Muhammad. 👍
thank you Wes, very helpful
Glad you enjoyed the lesson Nadaraya. Hope you find the songs helpful. 😊
It's been always kinna rough and tough for me to sing along with Eminem songs. Also the same with songs from Cannibal Corpse, though it may seem kind of weird; but their titles are somehow suggestive and quite frightening. I am just curious whatsoever.
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
Your lessons are very entertaining and energetic. You are an awesome teacher. Большое спасибо from Ukraine.💞
Thanks so much Zinaida. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Hope my singing didn't bother you too much. 😂
From Ukraine must be щиро дякую)))
@@marynastanishevska8164 You are right but my native language is Russian.
@@zinaidaurchak5825 No offence, Zinaida, 😊, mine is Russian too btw)), but everything from Ukraine must be Ukrainian💛💙
@@marynastanishevska8164 I don't think you are right here, it is for politicians " must," I can use all languages I know. I am an elderly person and I appreciate only freedom, so as it is the only thing the Lord wanted us to value the most. Live and let live. Yours sincerely, Zinaiida
