Une méthode infaillible pour apprendre les verbes irréguliers en anglais

Un professeur d’anglais, Jason R. Levine, a eu l’idée d’écrire une chanson pour aider à la mémorisation des verbes irréguliers en anglais. Une idée à proposer… ou de laquelle s’inspirer pour inventer une nouvelle chanson personnalisée !
