Sing a song right now....

It doesn't matter if you are a great singer or not, singing in English will improve your pronunciation for sure! 

Sometimes if you translate the song it might happen that the lyrics are a bit silly though ;-) or they are poetry...
 Anyway, I would like to share some of the songs I like to sing, most of them really makes you feel in a good mood!! (all with lyrics...don't complaint)

Don't be surprise about the 80's songs.. I love the 80s..!!

Who was Henry VIII?

As always, the actors and actress are really good-looking, much better than the  reality (or the paintings were far too bad...), below the link to the movie The Boleyn sisters and the TV show The Tudors. It's a very interesting story, don't you think so?
