Nice to meet you wangbin, Smile

I think songs could be a good resource. They have always been for me. Now, the point is where to start , we can bear in mind meaningful lyrics for example. Next step, which singer, group or band, which style …It's not easy to suggest one.

Ok, wangbin, I will give a try, a friend from your country told me about a group I have never heard before : Michael Learns To Rock ( MLTR ) and they are from Denmark. Maybe this song  that my friend sent to me could be your cup of tea, I don't know …the title is "Take me to your heart", it's absolutely easy to understand , it's perfect for listening comprehension. I can send it to you if you can't find it, just contact me.

Ok, this is just an idea.

Hoping to find more ideas here soon, see you

Michelle Branch might be a good artist to listen to, as well.

She uses clear English in her lyrics.

Kelly Clarkson is also good. Songs are stories and very catchy to listen to.
