What do they sing, for Samba's sake? I would like to share with you notes on my English skills (or lack thereof). First about my speaking skills. Sometimes, I think I sound snobbish to native English ears because my word choice in English has a lot of Latin-based words. That may be a direct influence of Portuguese. I also order words in a sentence in a way that is not idiomatic. What could I do to make myself clear(er)? Now, about my listening skills. Some singers, like Adele, are really hard to understand. I am unsure if the melody hampers singer's utterance of words, but I have a hard time figuring out what is sung and peek the lyrics on internet. What can be done to better listen, understand, and appreciate songs in English?

What do they sing, for Samba's sake?

I would like to share with you notes on my English skills (or lack thereof).

First about my speaking skills.

Sometimes, I think I sound snobbish to native English ears because my word choice in English has a lot of Latin-based words. That may be a direct influence of Portuguese. I also order words in a sentence in a way that is not idiomatic. What could I do to make myself clear(er)? (you could use clearer or more clear here)

Now, about my listening skills.

Some singers, like Adele, are really hard to understand. I am unsure if the melody hampers the/a singer's utterance of words, but I have a hard time figuring out what is sung and I have to/ I tend to peek at the lyrics on the internet. What can be done to better listen, understand, and appreciate songs in English?

Excellent passage! Your writing is great, minus some very minor grammar points. If you would like more help with your conversation skills and writing, I am a professional teacher on iTalki with extensive availability and I would love to help you.

Also, to simply answer your question, keep training your ears to listen to different accents in different settings. Maybe try a different song genre, listen to American singers, or maybe try to listen to a podcast.
