Learn a New Language

We all know it is easiest to learn a language when we learn through song.

There is a language class going on today at 10 AM in the Centrum. Let's see if the instructor knows what she's talking, er, um, singing about.



Spanish Lesson

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de paz.



Inuit Lesson

Jûtdlime kîmasugtut
íngilit kilangmiut
paratisimit aggiáput
mássa sarkúmernatik
mássa sarkúmernatik.



Cheyenne Lesson

Pavetaa'eva nehe'xoveva Tsexho'ehnese ho'eva,
Jesus Vo'estanevestomanehe.
Ehvo'estanetsehestaotsehoo'o
Tsexho'eotsestomotahaetse Vo'estanevehahtsestotse.



English Lesson

Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.



Note: Today's instructor and her partner, Henry Higgins, travel the globe studying phonetics and speech.
