Here I'm at VoiceTube today. This sounds interesting. I guess.

今天來到 VoiceTube，感覺很有趣...吧？

I grew up in the States and I came back to Taiwan when I was in fourth grade.

我是在美國長大的，小學四年級的時候回到台灣

And I always remember, in English class, our teachers would make us recite the textbooks, like 背課文.

我還記得，以前英文老師都會逼我們背課文

It was really a pain in the *bleep* (I'll just screen it myself, ok?)

讓我非常頭痛（我自己先消音了，別客氣）

I'm not saying that it's useless.

我不是說那完全沒用

It's actually quite useful in various ways.

其實在很多方面都滿有幫助

It helps you memorize the vocabulary, the sentences and stuff.

可以幫助你記起單字、句子等等

But it's just simply boring.

但就真的超無聊

It's really really boring,

超 級 無 聊

and I think a lot of students stop liking the language since that point on.

我覺得很多學生自那時開始就不再喜歡英文了

Just choose something that you like. Some fun stuff.

你就選一個你喜歡的東西，一些好玩的東西

Music, that's one thing; a certain talkshow that you like, sit-coms...

音樂就是其中一個，或是你喜歡的脫口秀、情境喜劇

and just put it on, watch it, listen to it, and just make yourself forget that you're actually learning.

然後就開始看、開始聽，讓自己忘記你其實是在學習

Once you have the conscience of you're learning something, you don't get to learn it actually.

當你還有「正在學習」的認知，就無法真正的學到東西

You just have to take it easy and relax. Chill.

就放輕鬆吧

You know, just start with any genre that makes you feel comfortable, any genre that you like personally:

音樂的部分，可以選任何一個讓你舒服的類型、你喜歡的類型：

electronic music, country music, pop, rock...

電子音樂、鄉村、流行、搖滾⋯⋯

I personally like rock, like, you know... no? You don't? Nah forget it.

我個人很喜歡搖滾樂，你知道⋯⋯？不知道？好吧算了

There are certain genres that I wouldn't suggest you to learn from, like rap, 饒舌

也有特定類別的音樂我不太建議你用來學習，像是饒舌樂

not because it's not good, but because sometimes it's really hard for you to understand what they're singing about.

不是因為他不好聽，但有時候真的很難聽懂他們在唱什麼

"I'm in love with the co..." sorry it's just a bit inappropriate.

「我愛上⋯⋯」抱歉，有點不適當

But anyways, as I said, just start with any genre that makes you feel comfortable.

好啦，就像我剛說的，從一個你喜歡的類別開始

And that will come easy, come naturally.

學習就會來的很自然

The artists that I like are usually positive, their lyrics are positive, their songs are good.

我喜歡的創作者通常都比較正面，歌詞很正面，歌也很好聽

The songs usually have a story behind the lyrics, and the lyrics are more descriptive, the sentences are more intact,

歌詞背後通常都有一個故事，也比較描述性、比較完整

so it's easier for you to pick up.

你會比較好學起來

So for instance, I like Jordan Feliz in The Rising Star, Sidewalk Prophets, Lifehouse, Bon Jovi, Carrie Underwood...

舉例來說，我喜歡 The Rising Star 節目裡的 Jordan Feliz、人行道上先知、生命之屋、邦喬飛、 凱莉·安德伍德

those are my specific favorites.

這些是我特別喜歡的

So is there any SOP to learning English with music?

所以聽音樂學英文有什麼標準作業程序嗎？

The answer is no.

答案是沒有

Next question.

下一題

Well first, you've got to subscribe to my channel, which is "JR Lee Radio",

首先，你要訂閱我的頻道：JR Lee Radio

and Jerry, you're gonna put the subtitles right here, the link over here, you gotta make it a little bit bigger

Jerry，你要把字幕放在這，連結放這，要弄大一點

so people can notice... maybe here... that big... is that good enough? Or maybe on my face? Ok.

大家才會注意到，這裡好了，這麼大，夠嗎？或在我臉上？好

Remember to subscribe to my channel. That's the first step always. Just kidding.

記得訂閱我的頻道，那永遠是第一個步驟。開玩笑的啦

Step one. You've got to choose a song, and an artist that you like. A song that you like.

首先，你要選一首歌、一個你喜歡的歌手、一首你喜歡的歌

And second, you gotta let it grow on you.

再來是要漸漸喜歡上它

You gotta make sure that there's enough English in the song that you can learn from, and then let it grow on you.

要確保那首歌裡有足夠你可以用來學習的英文，然後喜歡上它

So when you're in the shower, you're having a shower, that's right, and the song hits you.

所以當你在洗澡時，突然想起那首歌

And when you're walking on the streets, the song hits you.

走在路上時，也想起那首歌

All of a sudden, it comes up to your mind.

突然間那首歌就會跑進你的腦海裡

That's how you learn English with music. Just naturally.

這就是如何聽音樂學英文，很自然的

I do know quite a few free platforms which you can learn English with,

我也知道一些學英文的平台

like my good friend's YouTube channel: Ray Du English 阿滴英文.

像我好朋友的 YouTube 頻道：Ray Du English 阿滴英文

Is he gonna give me money for this? No? Don't mind

他會給你們贊助金嗎？不會？好當我沒說

Don't learn from this. It's actually not that good.

別看阿滴了，他也只是普普通通而已

There's also VoiceTube.

除此之外，還有 VoiceTube

I'm not saying this because they're inviting me here today, but VoiceTube is actually a really good platform.

不是因為他們今天邀請我來所以我才這樣講，VoiceTube 真的是一個很好的學習平台

I use it sometimes myself, because it has the English and Chinese subtitles

我自己有時候也會用，因為他有中英文字幕

and it has all kinds of topics which you can choose from on YouTube.

還有各種類型的影片可以讓你選擇

So, I personally use VoiceTube. And I'm not advertising for them. They're not giving me money,

所以我個人都會使用 VoiceTube，我不是在幫他們打廣告，他們完全沒有給我錢

which I'm really unhappy about actually.

所以我其實滿不開心的

And also, you can look at my channel, if you want to, JR Lee Radio, here... here... yeah that's right.

你也可以看看我的頻道，JR Lee Radio，這裡這裡，對

Those are free stuff, but if you really want to get deep, as I said, I personally like TIME magazine,

這些都是免費的，但如果你真的想要深入學習，我個人也很推薦 TIME 雜誌

there's just so many topics that you can learn from,

他有非常多類型的文章可以讓你選擇

and it's really up to date, so I personally like magazines.

也非常及時，所以我個人很喜歡看雜誌

And talkshows, as I said, Conan O'Brien, he's kind of weird though, but...

脫口秀也是，柯南·奥布萊恩不錯，他有點怪啦，但

if you're weird too, you can choose that, okay? Like me.

如果你也很怪的話就看看吧！跟我一樣 哈哈

But anyways, just to sum up for you, first of all, you gotta give yourself a very very good incentive.

總而言之，幫你總複習一下，首先，你要給自己一個很好的動機

It's a very strong motive for you to learn the language.

找一個強烈的動機讓你學英文

Then you have to have some good tools.

而工欲善其事，必先利其器

You can use music, talkshows, sit-coms, all kinds of stuff, as we've mentioned in the video.

可以利用音樂、脫口秀、情境喜劇那類的，剛剛都有提到

Last but not least, always remember to use VoiceTube. And they did not pay me for that.

最後，請記得要使用 VoiceTube！（他們真的沒有付我錢）

And subscribe to my channel.
