Hi there, Vladimir here with another video about how not to learn English
In my book Virtually Native I talk about using songs to learn English
I've already made a couple of videos on that subject
What I basically say is that
Songs are not suitable for learning English
learning a foreign language, any language
What I say is that:
Nobody has ever learned a foreign language listening to songs
Never ever
Why this video?
I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you
Wait before you leave and hit the dislike button.
Wait a couple of more minutes
I will give you my pick for the best song for learning English
I just wanna make sure you know my stance on learning English through songs
Nobody has ever learned English listening to songs
Here is my pick for the best song for learning English
The Origin of Love
by Hedwig and the Angry Inch
a wonderful song
Based on a story from Plato's Symposium
a speech given by Aristophanes about
the Origin of Love
This speech is considered one of Plato's most brilliant piece of writing
A bit confusing you say
Plato, Aristophanes,
Hedwig, Angry Inch
in the description section down below you will find a link to my blog
where I've provided more information, and the song itself
Since this is a song about The Origin of Love
the lyrics are mainly in the Past Tense
A beautiful text
Very close to Plato's Aristophanes' original
Not that difficult to sing,
great for karaoke
and will most certainly impress your date,
Check it out, there is a link in the description below
There you have it:
The Origin of Love the best song for learning English
whatever that means
And since I am feeling generous today, I'm gonna give you one more, a bonus 1
My Way, by Frank Sinatra
actually, by Paul Anka
One of the most popular songs of all time
Easy text, with some good use of
The Present Perfect and Past Simple when talking about Experience
With a few memorable phrases like
when I bit off more than I could chew
There you have it
The Origin of Love and My Way
Songs are fun, I know
however
not suitable for learning English.
On the other hand, movies are
Movies are much better for learning a foreign language
In my book Virtually Native, in the chapter on Listening,
you will learn how to use movies to learn English
how to mine for vocabulary and grammar.
My book is available on Amazon and virtuallynative.com

Kundalini Meditation for Constant Self-Authority - Duration: 6:33.
Aloha everyone it's Laura Christine, and I am at this beautiful estate at the North Shore,
so I'm really excited to be bringing this meditation to you from this place.
I hope you feel the energy of it.
So it's a short meditation from Kundalini Yoga, and it's called "Caliber for Constant
Self-Authority."
So a lot of times we will try to resist authority so that we can actually maintain chaos in
our lives.
This meditation will shift us away from that and keep us in our constant Self-authority
so that when we make choices and when we move in this direction or that direction, we know
that it's coming from that true light within rather than from someone else's idea out there
or some influences that are coming in toward us from out there.
It's all coming from within our own hearts, from our own light.
So it's very simple.
You bring your thumbs into your hands and create fists like so, and then the base of
the palms will touch and the fingernails and the knuckles right after that fingernails
will be touching like that.
Bring... the mudra, you're going to drop your elbows and rest your shoulders.
Bring the mudra in front of your heart, not touching it, but in front of it, and you're
gonna stare at the tip of your nose.
Just stare at the tip of your nose, if you're eyes wander farther, that's fine, it's the
line we're looking for.
And it's gonna be 3 minutes.
You're going to simply focus on the breath, and the breath is long and slow and deep through
the nose, and then out through the mouth with pursed lips, and then in through the mouth
through those pursed lips, and out through the nose.
And that pattern repeats, so nose, pursed lips, in through pursed lips, out nose.
So find your mudra.
Thumbs inside, fingernails and base of the palms touching.
Find your eye focus and for three minutes do that breath pattern.
Wherever you are inhale through your nose and reach your arms up and stretch.
Hold the breath...keep the arms up, exhale.
Take two more deep breaths....
Exhale, inhale, exhale, and relax, you can shake your hands a little bit.
And that's it to keep your self in your own Self-authority.
So you can do that for up to 22 minutes, but you do not need any more than 22 minutes,
so 3 minutes is great.
You can work up to 11, maybe 22.
I've only ever done it for 3, so go with what is best for you.
And enjoy the rest of your day.
I love you.
Sat Nam.
