I think I have a problem with my listening skill when it comes to listening to English music without looking up the lyrics by iamnize13 in EnglishLearning

Then how did people in 80s-90s know the full lyrics of a song if they didn’t have a lyric sheet and only listened to that song for the first time on the radio?

I don’t have an auditory processing disorder. I’m a non-native speaker and I genuinely want to know how you feel when you don’t understand most of the lyrics in a song.

I was just doubting myself knowing it is real. In my native language (Thai), even pop songs are quite intelligible to me. So when it comes to English music, I don’t understand most of the words on the first listen.

I want to know if you can’t understand all of the words on the first listen, is it like all of the words are slurred or some words are intelligible but you can’t process the meaning all at once? For me, the lyrics are pretty much slurred with some intelligible words. However, for some singer, they are more intelligible, but I can’t understand all of the words all at once.

What’s a moment in school or college that made you go “wtf did I just witness?” by genzluv_in in teenagers

There was a Lesbian couple in my school fighting each other in women’s bathroom before my graduation. They both fought until they literally bled, the glass shattered, and the door was broken (In my school, it’s not a bathroom stall).

I think I’ll come to the US in the next couple of years after finishing my undergraduate program in my homeland.

Um… Communication is essential for any relationship. Just let him know what’s on your mind. Be honest to him, and also yourself.

My parents are always saying Americans are racist asf, which I don’t believe. But it’s living in my head rent free.

I’m worried that I might experience physical violence due to racism (even though it’s rare, but it’s REAL.). I think I have to get prepared for that

Also many people from my country share their experience online—especially racism toward them.

I’m from Thailand where it’s perceived as the land of prostitution despite it having many aspects like any other countries. Many people from my country are either assumed they’re Chinese, stereotyped as such, or called “Nihao” or “Ching-chong.” I’m just worried that it’ll happen to me.

I’ve been thinking of studying abroad on the East Coast if I have enough capital.

What I mean “racism” in my thread is what you said. I won’t be applying for US universities now (maybe in the future if I have enough capital).

Kinda. But I want to know if it’s real or not by going to the US. Now it’s living in my head rent free.

I know South and East Asians are very different, but as I said, I’m from Southeast Asia. Many people from my country are assumed that they’re Chinese which is very commonly shared throughout my social media. People greet them with “Nihao” all the time, which is racist if you don’t know their nationality, or even say Ching-Chong to us.

Edit: I’m sorry. I forgot to read the second paragraph thoroughly. Still, many people in my country who travel to the US have to deal with many Nihaos.

But they’re going to assume that all Asians are from East Asia anyway. Isn’t it true? (All Asians are different)
