Sing Along to Songs and Practise

your English at the same time!

www.karaokeparty.com

This web site has got a lot of popular songs that you can sing along

to, or just read the lyrics as you listen to the song.

This idea is that you should connect your microphone and sing

along on the internet! You will be pleased to know that you do not

have to do that! You can sing along without a microphone, or just

listen.

You can scroll your mouse along the pictures at the top to select a

song, or click on the Songs link at the top of the screen, or on the

more songs to sing link.

You will then get a list of songs to look at, or you can search for a

song title or singer. See the picture on the next page.

For each song you can choose Sing It, Preview, or Info. The first

link, Sing It, takes you to the karaoke screen. The second link,

Preview, plays a little bit of the song so that you can hear what you have selected, and the third link, Info, gives you information

about the song, together with a video and the full lyrics.

If you click Sing It, you will see this screen next:

The first box has two choices. Make sure you select Vocal (Easy) so that you can hear the words. The in the second box, tick I have

no microphone. Then in the third box, click Start.
