Default Re: Teaching Colloquialisms
This is probably the wrong thing to suggest but I did Billy Squier's "Whadda You Want From Me" with beginners and it was a huge success.They were actually starving for some words that didn't have "you needtoknow" all over them.We simply analyzed the lyrics.
Then again I had students at intermediate level do the Beastie Boys "SO WATCHA' WANT LYRICS" and have them come up with other lyrics/colloquialisms.
