Learn English with Christmas Songs: 5 Best Songs for Mood and Learning

There is nothing left before Christmas and New Year - it's time to stock up on festive mood. We offer you some American Christmas songs to combine business with pleasure - to create a festive mood and improve your English.

First, let's figure out how to learn English by songs:

• Select a song. You must like her.
• Work with text. Write down all unfamiliar words and look at their translation.
• Sing along with the performer. Sing as you can! The main thing is to repeat all the words - so they are better remembered.

Five Christmas songs to learn English from:

1. Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You

Of course, it’s worth starting with Christmas Queen Mariah Carey and her cult hit.

Let's take one verse together:

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

I don't want a lot of presents for Christmas
I only need one.
And I don't care what lies under the tree
I only want you to be mine.
More than you can imagine
Fulfill my wish.
All I want for Christmas is you.

2. Frank Sinatra - Let it snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Another Christmas anthem performed by the incredible Frank Sinatra.

Let's take a snippet of the song:

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

The weather outside is awful
But the fire in the fireplace is so wonderful.
And since we have nowhere to go,
Let it sweep, let it sweep, let it sweep!

3. Wham! —Last Christmas

After listening to this song, you will definitely get infected with a romantic Christmas mood, and also learn a couple of new English words.

Verse translation:

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the next day you returned it.
This year, to save yourself from tears,
I will give it to someone special.

4. Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock

Well, we couldn’t, we just couldn’t help but take this composition to the list.

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas rock and roll
The bells are swinging and ringing!
It's snowing, basting a lot of fun
So the Christmas rush has begun!

5. Andy Williams - The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

This song is perfect if you need to get in the Christmas mood.

Piece translation:

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago

There will be parties and guests
Marshmallow on fire
And songs on the street in the snow.
There will be scary stories
And glorious legends
About Christmas long past.
