How to understand and enjoy English poetry
Reading a poem can make you fall in love with English! It can help you think and feel more deeply. It can take you on a cultural journey. It can remind you of the past, encourage you in the present, and inspire you for the future. So, join me in this advanced English lesson as I analyze a famous poem by William Wordsworth. You’ll learn the key steps to understanding poetry more easily: reading, meaning, context, keywords, paraphrasing, mood, theme, and more. You’ll also improve your vocabulary, learn literary techniques, and expand your world through the beauty of English poetry. Shall we begin?Levels

Dear Benjamin, how marvelous to enjoy with your helpful introduction old London at dawn with the eyes of your poet W.Wordsworth from that important bridge of the capital. Thank you kindly for this lesson.
Does this course is completely free
It’s all free, although all the comments are on YouTube. And I don’t like that, because you’re lost there:)
Thank you very much, Benjamin!
Thanks, Benjamin. Great lesson. I like the poetry lessons very much. Gill (RIP) opened the world of English literature and poetry to me. Understanding poetry helps to feel the language. There is something deeper in exploring English poetry than just looking up the vocabulary and trying to understand the meaning. It’s like contact with the past, and it’s more exciting that it is the past of a different culture. It’s so mysterious for non-English and not native speakers.
