http:\/\/www.lyricstraining.com\/ <\/a>.<\/p>\nUnfortunately, I don\u2019t find the site to be as straightforward or user friendly as I would like it to be.\u00a0 So I wanted to give you some tips on how to use this site so you can enjoy it and use this tool to practice your English.<\/p>\n
After going to the website above\u2026<\/p>\n
To start you need to pick a song to listen to.\u00a0 You can do this by typing in the box that says \u2018Search for lyrics, by artist, or whatever<\/strong>\u2019 found at the top center of the homepage.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t find the song you are looking for right away by doing a search, scroll down the homepage.\u00a0 You will see different songs you can choose from in the \u2018Recently Played<\/strong>\u2019 and \u2018Most Played (Today)<\/strong>\u2019 areas.\u00a0 It might just be easiest to select a song that you see in one of these areas as the first song you try to listen to and play the game with.<\/p>\nIf you click on a song from the \u2018Recently Played<\/strong>\u2019 or \u2018Most Played (Today)<\/strong>\u2019 area you will be taken to a new webpage where the music video you selected will start playing.<\/p>\nIt is now that you need to select the level at which you want to play this listening game.\u00a0 You can select from: Beginner, Intermediate <\/strong>or Expert<\/strong> by clicking on one of these words below \u2018Select Game Mode<\/strong>\u2019.\u00a0 I suggest starting out as a Beginner.<\/p>\nOnce you select your level, the music video will start over and you will see words (the lyrics to the song) written out directly below the video (in a light blue box).\u00a0 You will notice that some of the words are missing.\u00a0 Instead of words there are a series of dots where the word should be.\u00a0 These dots represent the words you have to listen for and fill in.\u00a0 Each dot stands for one letter, so this is a little hint for you to figure out what the missing word might be.<\/p>\n
The music video will play until the end of a line where there is a missing word, then it will stop.\u00a0 You have to type in the correct word in order for the music video to continue.\u00a0 If you did not hear the word correctly the first time, don\u2019t worry, you can press the \u2018delete<\/strong>\u2019 button on your keyboard and that line will play again.\u00a0 You can play the line again and again, by pressing \u2018delete\u2019 as many times as you want, until you figure out the word.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t figure out the word and you want to move on, you can press the \u2018tab<\/strong>\u2019 key and move to the next line.\u00a0 As soon as you type the right word, the song moves along on it\u2019s own.<\/p>\nWhen a video\/song is finished you can see your score.\u00a0 You can also see the time it took you to complete the game, the number of words you typed correctly, and then number of words you skipped.\u00a0 These are all tallied bellowed the lyrics.\u00a0 Also, the website will give you a score for your effort.\u00a0 The score is figured out by multiplying the number of words you typed correctly by a specific number of points per word.<\/p>\n
I hope you have fun exploring this website, listening to songs, and practicing your English.\u00a0 Let me know what you think about this tool by leaving a comment below.\u00a0 You could also let us all know your highest score after you play a few times :).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/01\/lyrics.jpg\")
