French Music From Around the World
Monday September 11, 2006
I recently vacationed to the lovely Francophone city of Montreal, and in preparation, I did some self-guided French language warmup exercises. Now, for me, a pretty comfortable French-speaker, I don't need to do verb charts or warm up on phrase books. Instead I turn to film, books and music to prime my ears... I watched Amelie and Delicatessen, read Le Petit Prince (I wasn't entirely in the mood for Camus this time around), and, of course, I listened to a lot of French music.
I find that my rusty French warms up pretty easily with music, possibly because I find myself singing along (and therefore get myself speaking and pronouncing French words), but even if it really didn't work at all, I think I'd still listen to these Francophone CDs, just because they're awesome.

Although, I don’t speak and understan french. I still like hearing french songs. Maybe it is in the language that I find it so sexy and intriguing.

Bonjour! I have a blog with translations of French music (mostly pop) into English. I’m mainly doing it as a student of the language to increase my command of its intricacies.
