Hello Kaironers!

Como has visto, hemos estado aprendiendo acerca del vocabulario navideño que utilizan comúnmente los angloparlantes, pero muchas veces se vuelve difícil cuando queremos aplicarlo a una frase completa. 

En Kairon English consideramos que es importante mantener el equilibrio entre adquirir vocabulario y aplicarlo a nuestra vida diaria, sin dejar de lado la fluidez y la pronunciación. 

Sabemos que la asignatura pendiente que tiene todo el mundo es el speaking y, sobre todo, el listening.

Por este motivo, hoy queremos compartir con vosotros algunas estrategias dinámicas y fáciles que aplicamos con el fin de perfeccionar todas ellas: pronunciación, acento y fluidez por sobre todo. 

¿QUÉ HAGO PARA MEJORAR MI SPEAKING Y LISTENING?

LECTURA

Ya sé lo que estás pensando: ¿¿¿LEER??? (prometo que se pone más divertido). Y aquí quiero detenerme un momento porque tengo que decirte que la lectura es una de las herramientas más eficaces para aprender el idioma. 

A través de este método, adquirimos vocabulario, slang (dependiendo de donde sea la fuente), fluidez y gramática pero para no desistir en el intento la clave está en encontrar un género que te atrape.

Pero no nos referimos sólo a libros, sino que hoy en día podemos acudir a algunos canales en las redes sociales como periódicos o revistas online. 

Aquí te dejamos algunas recomendaciones para que disfrutéis en estas vacaciones.

MÚSICA

Ya te dije que se pondría divertido…

Aquí vamos con una de las herramientas más importantes y que podemos hacer en casa junto a la lectura: la música.

Escuchar una canción, seguir la letra y el ritmo hará que tu inglés suene más nativo que nunca. A su vez, entrenarás tu oído para entender los distintos acentos ingleses.

Para ello, te compartimos el “TOP 3” de algunas de las canciones (y sus letras)  que hemos seleccionado en Kairon Mix para que nuestros estudiantes hagan del inglés una forma de vida.

 Ed Sheeran & Elton John – Merry Christmas [Official Video]

So kiss me under the mistletoe

Pour out the wine, let’s toast and pray for December snow

I know there’s been pain this year, but it’s time to let it go

Next year, you never know

But for now, Merry Christmas, we’ll

Dance in the kitchen while embers glow

We’ve both known love, but this love we got is the bеst of all

I wish you could see you through my eyes, then you would know

My God, you look bеautiful

Right now, Merry Christmas

The fire is raging on

And we’ll all sing along to the song

Just having so much fun

While we’re here, can we all

Spare a thought for the ones who have gone?

Merry Christmas, everyone

So just keep kissin’ me under the mistletoe

Pour out the wine, let’s toast and pray for December snow

I know there’s been pain this year, but it’s time to let it go

Next year, you never know

But for now, Merry Christmas, we’ll

Dance in the kitchen while embers glow

We’ve both known love, but this love we got is the best of all

I wish you could see you through my eyes, then you would know

My God, you look beautiful

Right now, Merry Christmas

I feel it when it comes

Every year helpin’ us carry on

Filled up with so much love

All our family and friends

Are together where we all belong

Merry Christmas, everyone

It’s Christmas time for you and I

We’ll have a good night and a Merry Christmas. ///

 Hallelujah – Pentatonix (From A Pentatonix Christmas Special) [Official Video]

I’ve heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don’t really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hmm

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to the kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well baby, I’ve been here before

I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch

And love is not a victory march

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe there’s a God above

But all I’ve ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it’s not a cry that you hear at night

It’s not somebody who has seen the Light

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah//

Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas Is You [Official Video]

Aquí va otra versión All I want for Christmas is you – Carpool Karaoke muy divertida y con muchos artistas!

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

Yeah

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

Don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won’t make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas

I won’t even wish for snow (and I)

I’m just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won’t even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)

And the sound of children’s laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)

And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)

Won’t you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas

This is all I’m asking for

I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
