Analysing Lyrics of Hindi Movie "Majboor" - Dekh Sakta Hoon

-------------- Lyrics --------------
Dekha fulon ko kaanton pe sote hue
Dekha tufaan ko kashti dubote hue
Dekh sakata hun main kuchh bhi hote hue 
Nahin main nahin dekh sakata tujhe rote hue

Self introduction| 自我介绍


Hello guys. This is Kate Zh. In this episode I am gonna tell you about a strategy to remember new words forever.

I know this is a big problem for everyone when they are learning a new language. Now I am learning a new language which is Korean. To be honest I forgot how hard it is to study words in a language which you don’t know completely. I was completely astounded because I just couldn’t remember new words.

Here is a strategy I use to memorize these Korean words.

Step number 1: look at new words, translate them(if you are a beginner) or find the definition(if you are an old hand.

Step number 2: read the context with new words again. You should always see the context. This is why we easily remember the words from songs and movies.

Step number 3: read other sentences with these words. There are good websites which provide you with a lot of context.

Step number 4: ask your friend to read you the sentence and you have to add the new words.

Step number 5: Write your sentences using new words and talk to your friend or record your speech, again, yes, using new words.

That’s the strategy, guys, I hope it was useful. Come to my lessons if you want to make some progress in your English.

Here are some words from this podcast today:

An old hand

Please learn them, to be closer to your goal!

NEW WORDS: HOW TO REMEMBER THEM FOREVER

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.
