These guys and gals are the ones I turn to when I’ve just started a ๐ language.
Disney has an abundance of songs available and what’s more important to you as language learner/lover/addict (delete as appropriate) they exist in a myriad of languages and often also in different versions of the same language (๐ช๐ธ and ๐ฒ๐ฝ, ๐ง๐ท and ๐ต๐น, ๐ณ๐ฑ and ๐ง๐ช…).
I recently rediscovered Timon and Pumbaa, the ๐ฉ๐ฐ way. My fav is Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Not only because I like the song, but also because the happy couple (they are a couple, right; or is that just an impression only I have?) have a short conversation before and after the song; a conversation I know by heart in ๐ฌ๐ง, ๐ง๐ท, ๐ช๐ธ and ๐ฎ๐น (not yet in ๐ฉ๐ฐ, but don’t worry I’ll get there). Ain’t I a strange ๐ฝ guy, right?
- ๐บ๐ธ Can You Feel the Love Tonight
- ๐ช๐ธ Es la Noche del amor
- ๐ฒ๐ฝ Esta Noche es para amar
- ๐ซ๐ท L’amour Brille sous les รtoiles
- ๐ง๐ท Nesta Noite o Amor Chegou
- ๐ต๐น Esta Noite o amor Chegou
- ๐ฉ๐ช Kann es wirklich Liebe sein
- ๐ฎ๐น L’amore รจ nell’aria Stasera
- ๐ฉ๐ฐ Fรธl Hvordan Dit Liv Bli’r Fyldt
- ๐ณ๐ฑ ‘s Avonds Bloeit de Liefde op
Still haven’t had enough of The ๐ฆ๐? On Youtube you can find a multi-language version in 16 (!) languages.
If you don’t like Simba’s adventures, well… who’s strange ๐ฝ now? No just kidding of course. It really is l’embarras du choix as we say in ๐ซ๐ท . There’s Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast ๐น, Moana… and…
- Laat het Los
- Libรฉrรฉe, Delivrรฉe
- Lass Jetzt Los
- All’alba Sorgerรฒ
- Vol Volar
- …
aka Frozen’s Let it go in ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ซ๐ท๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ๐น๐ฆ๐ฉ and many more as you might have already seen on Youtube or in this Spotify playlist. There are 44 official versions but who’s counting?
You know the melody (it really helps!), you know what it is about (or you quickly check the lyrics in another language).
โผ๏ธ Mind you, this can also be a first step to watching a ๐ฌ๐๏ธ in your target language: it becomes easier when you’ve already listened to the songs.
So put the songs on ๐ and ๐ค along!
