Playlist for Karen

20 October 2010 by YukonJen

My friend Karen mentioned one day that she wouldn’t mind some French music-but she didn’t know where to start. She said she’d heard that you can learn a lot about the language by learning the lyrics of songs.

I said she could start with MTV France and the very popular Taratata.  Regardless, here are a few rather popular songs that showed up this summer:

Stromae – Alors on Danse

Zaz – Je Veux

Gaetan Rousssel – Help Myself

Camelia Jordana – Non Non Non

Here are three albums that I found I could sing along to in French. I liked the lyrics so much, I just learned them.

  • Francis Cabrel L’Essentiel 1977-2007
  • Coeur de Pirate
  • Engelberg – Stephan Eicher

    Hey Jen

    I loved all of your choices. Expecially Gaetan Roussel and Cordelia Jordana (who I’ve at least heard on the radio :-j I’m so in touch!) Thanks for thinking of me. I think I’ll have to spend some money and learn some lyrics. Luckily Christmas is coming 😀

    don’t work too hard
