English as a Singing Language

Various, I Know an Old Woman, Adjective Clauses


Listen Later

In each season, we like to include a traditional song that is good for language learners of all ages. For Season 3, Episode 4, we’ve chosen a song we remember from our own childhoods, “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.”

This song is silly and funny and since it repeats each verse, it’s great language practice. We’ve also recorded ourselves singing the version of the song included in the lyrics on the podcast website. Have fun trying to sing along!!
