[2026] Convenient BGM for Learning English | Summary

The most important thing in learning English is knowing vocabulary.

No matter how much you study listening or grammar, if you don’t know the words, you can’t put it into practice.

Vocabulary is extremely important, but listening can be said to be the next most important element after vocabulary.

This time, I’ve selected some recommended background music (BGM) for English listening.

If you feel weak at audio processing in listening, it’s crucial to keep listening to English as much as possible, so this is a must-see for students and anyone currently learning English.

If you’re someone who prefers studying with music rather than in complete silence, I feel that the works of American pianist Harold Budd are perfect for studying.

Many of his pieces fall under what’s called “ambient music” or “drone music,” which evoke a sense of spaciousness, and their long, gently flowing tones throughout each track provide a relaxing effect.

Kiefer’s 2023 album “It’s Ok, B U” is the perfect background music for anyone who wants to focus on studying or work.

The tracks, blending elements of jazz and electronic music, are easy on the ears—calming yet inspiring.

The exquisite harmony between piano and beats is sure to evoke deep emotions.

Its roughly 50-minute runtime flies by and will likely boost your productivity.

If you’re looking for a well-rounded playlist, I highly recommend this album.

This is a live stream of background music featuring an impressive, comfortable sub-bass loop.

The tracks included here have no lyrics at all—they’re purely instrumental—so they’re especially recommended if lyrics tend to distract you during workouts.

They’re great for solo jogging, fitness sessions at the gym, or as BGM in environments like startups with lots of younger people.

Whatever the setting, the songs are all up-tempo, so they’ll help you spend the moment in a fun, lively mood.

Game music is also great as background music for work.

This track is from Undertale, a game that became popular for its theme—allowing you to clear the game without defeating enemies depending on your choices—and its unique worldbuilding.

It’s an incredibly catchy and cool piece.

Riding on the faintly audible beat of a drum machine, Tom Misch’s groovy guitar resonates pleasantly.

Co-created with Loyle Carner, this piece gently speaks to the importance of understanding others’ perspectives.

It’s the title track of the EP “Colourblind,” released in December 2024, and its charm lies in a sound that’s minimal yet deeply textured.

Perfect for listening between tasks or while studying, the seamless back-and-forth between Misch and his longtime friend Loyle Carner warmly embraces the listener.

Within its calm atmosphere, you can feel the warmth of their friendship shining through.
