Мой английский как-то застопорился. Он находится в той стадии, когда свободным его назвать рано, а традиционные способы обучения уже не приводят к прогрессу. И если понимаю я достаточно сносно, то говорить мне по прежнему сложно. Чтобы разнообразить свое обучение, я решила попробовать заучивать английские фразы из песен. Тут как нельзя кстати, English-Puzzle подарил мне годовой аккаунт. Работа с роликами на сайте описана достаточно подробно, я не стала изобретать велосипед, единственно, увеличила количество прослушивания песен до заучивания наизусть (на это уходит примерно неделя, когда ролик уже отработан полностью несколько раз, просто ставлю его под любое занятие и подпеваю, таким образом запоминаю навсегда). На этой неделе была Мадонна с двумя своими хитами: Like a prayer и Like a virgin. Ниже привожу их с текстами от English-puzzle. Трудные фразы - переводы оттуда же.
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh, God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name and it feels like home
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer
ФРАЗЫ:

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was until I found you.
I was beat incomplete.
I'd been had, I was sad and blue but you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine gonna give you all my love, boy.
My fear is fading fast,
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last.
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold.
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold.
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time,
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine,
You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel I've nothing to hide
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time,
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine
Like a virgin. Like a virgin.
Feels so good inside
When you hold me,
And your heart beats, and you love me,
Oh, baby
Yeah, can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?
