Profane...

[Merlin]

I sometimes volunteer, teaching English…(there are a couple of thousand Brazilians walking round speaking English with a broad Welsh accent).

I am currently teaching an advanced class….and we are dealing with profane language…in songs…..

Bottom line…what are the best songs with lots of swearing (with preferably clearly spoken lyrics – which are relatively easy to understand for non-native English speakers)…..that I can download easily from the internet…

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Pretty much anything by Eminem fits the bill.

Thanks ,OW...Will that include a lot of rap type slang?...coz I am not up with that kinda stuff…:laugh…

We watched some of the Ozzy Oz family…..episodes…..It maybe controversial , but to learn language properly and to function in a native setting you just got to know the slang and the swear-words….

In fact for some of the advanced examinations, you do need some knowledge of profanity – or it at least helps….

Working Class Hero by John Lennon.

Uses the f-word only twice but it's an angry song that uses the swearing for emphasis, much as people do in real life.

Bodies by The Sex Pistols.
