7/28 (Sat.) Translated Songs (Host: Gavin)
發表於 : 週日 7月 01, 2018 9:59 pm
Listening to songs isn’t just a way to relax, but also an effective way to learn languages.
Three main reasons:
1. Music helps you to remember sentences & vocabulary easily
2. Instead of just plain words, most songs have poetic words to learn
3. Convenient. Even with hands occupied (for example, during driving), you can still listen to songs
If you have some catchy melodies in mind, the translated songs must be effective language-learning materials to you.

Session 1 (Mandarin-to-English Translated Songs)
a. How do you think of the translation of Tomorrow Will Be Better, and Fairy Tale? Would you give it a try to learn English by listening to translated songs?
b. Do you know any other famous Mandarin songs which are translated into English?
c. Do you take English songs as English-learning materials? When you go to KTV, do you usually sing some English songs?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Session 2 (Some Other Types of Translated Songs)
d. While people say Mandarin is the most profound language in the world, do you think English-to-Mandarin translated songs are as good as the English versions?
e. It’s magical you become able to sing 江南Style shortly after watching that MTV; However, do you think this kind of sound-mimicking methods is good for learning languages or not?
f. Share some other examples of translation you ever saw. (Examples: Taiwanese-dubbed Stephen Chow’s movies, English-dubbed cartoons…)
