How to use this lesson
- Listen once and follow the situation before studying the words.
- Read the useful lines and notice who is speaking, what happened, and why they say it.
- Answer the lesson questions out loud using your own life, not only the song.
- Make one similar mini story with the same mood, phrase, or problem.
- Replay the song later and try to remember the useful chunks without looking.
