My Italian song: Adesso Tu (Now You) by Eros Ramazzotti. He, like Laura Pausini, sings in both Spanish and Italian, and most of his CDs are in both languages as well. I like the Spanish version of this song better than the Italian. I should have picked Se Bastasse Una Canzone, but I didn't think about it until after I was almost done with this one. Maybe I will do that one later for fun. I really enjoyed this project, and I think it's a wonderful idea for the team to work on something like this together. :)
An easier-to-read version in color is here. Adesso Tu (Now You) (Eros Ramazzotti) Nato ai bordi di periferia born on the periphery Dove i tram non vanno avanti più where the trams don' t go anymore Dove l´aria è popolare where the air is popular È più facile sognare and it is easier to dream Che guardare in faccia la realtà... than to face reality Quanta gente giovane va via how many young people go away Acercare più di quel che ha to search for more than what they have Forse perché i pugni presi maybe that’s why the blows A nessuno li ha mai resi they never returned E dentro fanno male and inside they hurt themselves ancor di più even more Ed ho imparato che nella vita and i’ve learnt that in life Nessuno mai ci da di più nobody ever gives more Ma quanto fiato quanta salita but how many breaths acend Andare avanti senza getting on without voltarsi mai... ever turning back E ci sei adesso tu and now you’re here A dare un senso ai giorni miei to give sense to my days Va tutto bene dal momento che ci sei everything goes well since momento che ci sei the moment you are Adesso tu here now Ma non dimentico but i didnt forget Tutti gli amici miei all of my friends Che sono ancora là... that are still there E ci si trova sempre più soli and one always feels more alone A questa età non sai...non sai in this age you dont know.. dont know.. Ma quante corse ma quanti voli how many rides, how many flights Andare avanti senz´arrivare mai... getting on without ever arriving E ci sei adesso tu and now you’re in Al centro dei pensieri miei the center of my thoughts La parte interna dei respiri tu sarai the interior part of my breaths La volontà Che non si limita you will be the desire, unlimited Tu che per me sei già you that are already Una rinvicita... a support for me Adesso sai chi è now you know who is Quell´uomo che c´è in me... the man inside me Nato ai bordi di periferia born in the periphery Dove non ci torna quasi più where i almost never come back Resta il vento che ho lasciato stays the wind that i’ve left Come un treno già passato like a train that has already passed by Oggi che mi sei accanto today that you are close to me Oggi che si sei soltanto today that you’re the only one Oggi che ci sei... today when you are there.. Adesso tu now you Any corrections are welcome, of course. :) Edited by Kerrie on 03 February 2013 at 5:25pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

And finally, my French song.
An easier-to-read version in color is here. Au Soleil (In the Sun) Jenifer Bartoli Ce qui ne me tue pas What doesn't kill me Me rend forte Makes me strong On pourrait en venir aux mains We could come to blows Je suis a celui qui me transporte I belong to the one who carries me Je reste tant que l'on me supporte I stay as long as you stand me Ou je reprends seule le chemin Or I hit the road again alone Malgre les risques que cela comporte In spite of the risks it includes Avec toi j'irai bien With you I'll be alright Meme sans toi j'irai bien Even without you I'll be alright Au soleil In the sun M'exposer un peu plus Going out in the sun a little more Au soleil in the sun Quand le coeur n'y est plus When my heart no longer feels like doing anything Bruler ce que l'on adore Burning what I adore Et rechauffer son corps & Warming up my body Malgre tout l'amour que je porte In spite of all the love I carry Toi tu n'y entends vraiment rien You really don't get it Notre histoire que le diable l'emporte Our story, may the Devil sweep it away Avec toi j'irais bien With you I'll be alright Meme sans toi j'irais bien Even without you I'll be alright Any corrections are welcome. :) If anyone know how to transfer the HTML from justpaste.it to here, please let me know.

I have this bad habit (when I'm home alone) of sitting down at the computer while I eat and watching something on YouTube. I came across this guy on accident and started listening to him. How to FLUENTLY Learn Foreign Languages.
Has anyone ever heard of this guy? Does anyone know if he speaks anything other than English? I watched about five minutes (between two of his videos), and I honestly couldn't even stomach some of the BS he was spewing. Unless you speak a dozen languages fluently, I really don't think you have a right to go bashing people like Benny, Moses and Steve. I'm sure they're not perfect, but they have done a lot of the language learning community online. EDIT: I actually sat through two of his videos, and seriously, don't waste your time.

Well, late last night I finished the film part of my Spanish Super Challenge. 100 films. Well, more TV episodes, than films. And a few hours of LRing audio books. I am surprised at how much better my listening comprehension is. :) I also finished the second Harry Potter book, El Sobrino del Mago and El Leon, La Bruja y el Ropero (two of the Narnia books). I thought I'd have time to read the two Narnia books and then catch up to my daughter with Harry Potter, but I hadn't planned on her catching croup and being home and reading for two straight days. I certainly have my work cut out for me now! Oh, the power of a good challenge. :) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Congratulations! That's really impressive. I don't think I could take a super challenge even in my native language =D Maybe it's because I don't like watching films that much and because I usually read parts of several books, all in a row. I do plan to do much smaller challenges for languages at which I'm at a higher level, like French. I've set a goal of 10 books this year, we'll see.

I ordered the new Kindle Paperwhite. The one that has the built-in translation feature for almost every language on my to-do list except Croatian. Oh, shame on me for spending so much money, but just think about how much time it will save me for the Super Challenge reading. :D @Expugnator: The film part is not so hard, since you can count movies, TV shows, football matches (for Serpent), and audiobooks. I am really surprised at how much my comprehension has improved after watching so much TV in Spanish. :) It IS a lot of reading, but I am a reader at heart, and it is proving to be extremely beneficial. (It's really only 100 x 100 pages, so a 300 page book counts as 3 books.) There was a point a few weeks ago when it felt like I was working on my Spanish one day, and then I was just /reading/ the next. My Spanish reading is still much slower than my English, and I'm still writing down all the new words I come across. I'm sure that's slowing me down a lot, but it is doing wonders for my vocabulary. I am really happy with the progress I've been making. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||
