Mits Mind

It's rainin' cats n' dogs (raining cats and dogs)
Anits (and it is) cold outside
My sun.//.shine is deep inside

When native speakers speak quickly
"ing" can become just "in",
and "and" can become just "n",
"and it is" can become "anits".

You can practice the simple "n" by saying "cup n saucer, boys n girls, you n me" etc.

In Japanese you can sing it too as

hari toki doki kumori //
ame doshaburi

I love Misteakes (music & lyrics TM)
Doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya do
Doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya do
Do you dare to dare to dare to love to love to love
Do you dare to dare to dare to love to love to love

If I make a little Misteakes /Well that's just part of m¥ perfect plan
Being perfectly me / You see, I need my Misteakes
To make me what I want to be

Do you dare to dare to dare to love to love to love your Misteakes
Doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya do
Doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya doya do

(Singing Group won)
I love Misteakes, I love Mistaykes, I love Misteaks, I love Miss takes

(Singing Group too)
They show I'm human
They show I'm learning
They show I'm risking
They show I'm living

This is from a record I made in Switzerland back in the 1980's combining lines from three well know songs (at the time) with images from the media. Also known as "Let it be blowing in the windy streets of London!"

I’m young & strong and beautiful
I’m living an adventure
The world’s so fascinating
It makes me wanna cry
I wanna cry to the world
I wanna fly all around
I wanna tell everybody
I’m in love I’m in love
I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love
I wanna tell everybody I’m in love

Prompt fro students and teachers: How are you?
Answer: Sing it!

Be the change
you wish to see in the world.
I don't serve my dear world
by pretending to be small
I'll stand tall
(Mahatma Gandhi)

Fun In Rounds -- Lyrics below -- Especially for EFL classes
Part 1 I love us playing
I love us singing songs I love us interacting when we talk a lot

Part 2 We talk a lot / we learn a lot  We talk a lot / we LAUGH a lot  We talk a lot / we learn a lot when we talk a lot

Part 3 ha ha ha ha / he he he he
ho ho ho ho / hu hu hu hu
te he he he / ha he ho hu when we talk a lot

When you want to be happy there # thing(s) you can do
(to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas)

1 smile from ear to ear
2 breathe in deep
3 look up at the sky
4 sing a melody
5 dare to show your love

This is one minute (or less of ) good health. The song in the background goes
"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitutdes." (a quote from Hugh Downs) Listening usually will make you laugh and boost your immune system. If you have been on the computer too long, it will give you a break. Remember also to stretch and stand up and dance every 30 minutes. Cheers
