Flip the script! This episode we’re translating a classic French song into English. The discussion is mostly in English for a change, as we wrestle with translating the poetic nuances of Edith Piaf’s beautiful lyrics.

6: La Vie en Rose

Practicing and learning French through familiar song lyrics makes studying and practicing more fun. In this podcast, Gege and Rohan discuss their French versions of well-known songs (Queen, Elton John, ABBA and more) and the challenges of translating lyrics. By the end of each episode they agree on a final version and, yes, they sing it too! If you’d like to sing along you can find the lyrics of their versions on their Facebook Page, Learn French Through Lyrics.
