Lifehack: this is how you learn languages easier. Lyrics are often very close to the level of language that is actually spoken, and you can remember the words better if there is a melody behind it. As a kid, we had one song completely in Japanese. No idea why, Japan wasn’t nearly as popular as it is now, we just snag this song at my primary school and it has really helped me 12 years later while learning Japanese. I still know the entire song by heart. It can also help with pronunciation. The „th“ can be a hard thing to pronounce in English, so singing „happy birthday“ or“ i want it that way“ can really help

@@cakebeforeheartbreak it actually is though, the written language is relatively new and was created specifically to be easy to learn in order for the illiterate farmers of the 1400s to be able to get an education :) the letters symbolize where to place your tongue in your mouth/what shape your lips should make. source: i learned to read korean from a 5 minute youtube video and then studied korean in korea for a year :) it's not about learning a language, it's about memorizing the alphabet a=ㅏ etc in order to be able to sound out a word. in the case of reading and sounding out the lyrics she'd only have to learn to read, not understand the meaning of the words. in other words, probably less than an hours work of memorizing 24 letters

I believe Korean has one of the most straightforward pronunciations when it comes to vowels especially if they are romanized. That's why its so easy to memorize lyrics even if you dont speak Korean.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@thebadrandom6427 Japanese comes more naturally to me than Korean 😅. But anyway, Japanese is not a tonal language so if you pronounce sentences not according to the pitch accent, you will still be understood because the point of learning or speaking another language is not to sound like a native from the get-go. More about mora. Mora is how long you should be spending on saying every hiragana/katakana character. Each character counts as one beat (ippaku). So when you say something like chotto, you would clap for every character like cho-(clap)-to. So they don’t necessarily “omit letters”, it’s really because they had no other way to make double consonants.

Hey Alina I rec ntly saw an English versions release of Itzy - MITM. Maybe you only produced the song idk. But I was wondering when a kpop company releases an official English version after a Korean version, do they use original English lyrics of the demo or do they hire a lyricist to rewrite Korean version into English lyrics? Usually the latter means the essence of the original are kept. JYP released so many English songs and versions now! Stray Kids and Twice a long with Itzy all have em 😊😊

No need coz there are romanized lyrics. Unless you're learning the language fully, then yes need to learn the korean alphabet. You'll get the hang of reading romanized lyrics when you've been listening to kpop songs for a long time, i did coz been listening and singing along for 2 decades already. I learned korean alphabets early on but didn't really learn the language coz of my laziness but i can read hangul but that's just it.

this is so interesting!!!

Honestly though Hangul is SUPER easy to learn and that might speed up the process for you!

Omggg in Giddy it was you?? Like i know you co-wrote giddy but I didn’t know you also sang it

This is so good! I do this when I do covers too because the English written lyrics for Korean is soooo confusing!

Oh, yeah, i used to do the same when learning chores. When it comes to songs, i listen to them lots of times and when i look at the lyrics it's easier for me to pick up, but i do the same process. I feel good knowing i use a pro trick for my shower karaoke party 😂

This is exactly how i learned songs in different languages in choir, and now spanish songs just for fun. But i dont have the slowdown app anymore so i just replay parts of each verse over and over again while looking at the lyrics until i get it down then move to the next section.

thats a lot of work damn

Idk if I’m the only one thinking this but, wouldn’t it be easier to learn the Korean alphabet and sounds to make life easier?

Learning to read the romanised lyrics was so easy, and then it was even easier to learn to read hangul after that. Been practicing to read the hangul without slowing the song down now

Yassss for remote access 😊❤

I just listen to a song so much I learn the sounds not the words - I did it with Despacito and I can now actually sing and rap in Spanish - and I did so on a stage in Spain and nobody realised I didn’t speak Spanish lmao

Okay i now want this job

Super interesting ❤ glad to learn this

Heyyy I love your songs

Ohhh you’re like the foundation or base of their high pitched vocals that’s so dope !!!

Can you make a video on how to get started and sending songs to kpop companies ? Esp. when you're solely a songwroter and not a producer -how do you reach them and what do you send ? Thanks :(

This is actually what I do when learning dance covers. It helps break down the words

I do the same too to learn a korean song I first go I get that acapella version of a song then get go to 0.75x speed and if a rap then at 0.5x learning verse by verse I change the speed to higher then finally sing at 2x so when I normalize it my mind think it's a slow version and get better catch on lyrics in 2 - 3 hours I get ready with a korean song including the pitchs

back in the day we would pause the mp3 every few words and just write "misheard lyrics" so english words that sounded similar to the original, and then pronounce them funnily 😅

You thought me a new way on how to learn rap songs

For me just reading the romanized lyrics us easiest cause most of the time, the letters sound the same way in English and I find it accurate 😂

Great tips, thanks!!

Talented people are just built different. Respect!

to me you and your friends are way cooler then all the other commercial so called artists ...I love how you guys got into K pop...love your work!

Honestly, solid tip to learn any new foreign language song. I'm gonna try this on my german opera music!!! Vocal exams coming up soooon, thank youu💗

I hope you’re getting royalties for your voice girllll

That's how I learned English singing 5ive.

Wow, awesome job

This is a great idea

i mean that’s just smart. that’s how i learn complicated vocal builds or notes.

this has literally been me with many japanese songs and anime openings (though it helps that i’ve been learning japanese) because they slap hard asf and i always wanna be able to sing them when i hear them-

I do this with any song in a different language. Lol I'll try to figure out the words/pronunciations by ear, but look up the lyrics to visually see the word if i struggle with a pronunciation because sometimes hearing it while also seeing it helps me pick out the letters in the word better and can figure out the pronunciation from there.

I use to do this a lot when I was younger (for songs in diff languages).

That's genius!

This is how we learned foreign language pieces when I was in high school choir. Half speed then normal. We had a world class hs choir but didn’t know it. We thought every school had the same! The big city philharmonic orchestra invited us every year to supplement their pro-am chorus for the spring and winter concerts.

Okay, I do this in my car constantly and don’t know a lick of Korean, someone hire me 😂

Well I have no excuse to not be able to write music for any language or any genre, then.? Huh. Always amazing! This is so so cool! ❤

although i usually end up reading romanized lyrics but even thats easier bc i know how specific vowels r pronounced in korean bc theyre all pronounce the same each time unlike english ( ㅏ is always pronounced like the a in almond unlike how a is pronounced differently in different english words)

I feel like it would help a bunch to be able to read the lyrics as well. No? You don’t need to actually know any of the language, but Hangeul is almost completely spoken phonetically and is SUPER easy to learn. It’s honestly insane how simple it is when you compare to the Roman alphabet. If you had an afternoon to dedicate to it, you can learn the entire thing in a couple of hours. It’ll obviously take a bit to commit everything to memory to the point where you’re not reading like a 2nd grader, but since you’ll be reading frequently as part of your job, you could be reading at a regular pace by the end of the week!

Same as what I do for singing in different languages in choir! Referencing native speakers and slowing down the video speed really helps with understanding pronunciation 👏

I love this twice song. The choreo is even better.

U made a great song. Can’t stop listening to Giddy

i feel like what i would do is listen to it a bunch of times slowed. then right down in a random text doc or piece of paper general sounds (like lalala or something like that) then try to repeat it until it sounds like the original

This is sort of how I learned French! I would find a song I really love, open up the lyrics then slow it down until I could pronounce each of the words. It helps to expose you to new words and is helpful in picking up slang (especially for hip hop and rap songs)

I learned how to read hangul to help me pronounce korean songs better... by transcribing it into my own version of romanized hangul. 😂

I've spent several years of my life in choirs. The answer is basically just that you memorize it the same way you memorize pitch and rhythm! It takes a little longer than if you are singing in a language you know because you don't get shortcuts, but it's honestly not as hard as non-singers might think it is! Music is one of the easiest bits of knowledge to commit to memory

This is what I do to learn rap bits!!!

That's really cool

I’m currently studying Korean and honestly, just learning the characters would be a lot easier. It’s really easy to learn and it would save a lot of time. You would be surprised. I learned it in a couple days.

I've been doing covers in Korean without speaking it (I know a few things from songs qnd dramas only), the pronunciation is indeed really important to practice, I read the lyrics in romanized version when I sing but I know how to say them because I've listened to the song several times !😊

What also helps is writing it out in your language the way you would pronounce it. That helps me a lot. So combining reading and listening.

super professional

That’s so similar to how i got my french and spanish accents to a better quality. Gotta focus on those foreign quick sound changes

Romanized lyrics will also save your life. Thats actually how i started learning korean. Since english is my first language, it was much easier for me to learn romanized words first, then learn the korean alphabet and so on.

You are a genius you are amazing you help thanks you so much

I js look up the lyrics and learn the song it rlly easy!

this is how I learned a French song without knowing French.

Girl same. I sing French, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese and Portuguese. I also make sure to ask what I'm singing about so I could correctly approach it vocally.

Being someone who is a Taylor Guitar employee Finisher specifically on the guitar necks, it's so cool to see our guitars everywhere. Maybe I'm wrong and those aren't Taylors in the background lol idk!

If you have lyrics, then the language is probably gonna be easy to practice

That’s what I did while singing German, Italian, Latin, French arias in chorals

That's impressive. I have a hard time differentiating between word endings, like suh and chuh in English, so I don't think I would have any luck at all picking out sounds in another language.

I do it the same way for my Italian songs!

This is literally what I do any time I sing a song in another language😅

I can kinda read korean so I just write down what I hear in my first language and check with the words when I really want to sing along with something lol

One or two years back I had to cover a Japanese song for a project. I thought Learning it by ear first would be so much more helpful but I just ended up mispronouncing a ton of words and had to relearn the entire thing by reading the romanji instead. I still make mistakes despite knowing the song now. My project partner learned to romanji first and did perfectly. Unfortunately it wasn't the same for me. Glad it works for you though haha
