Thread Name: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun'
Subject: RE: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun'
I speak Polish (my origin), English, Scottish some of Russian,
German, I understand Slovakian and Czech also I did have learned my
first-degree course Latin and Greek, about my Norwegian shanties, I
do not speak Norwegian, it has been recorded three shanties in
Norwegian by me till now. The effort I made on those three was I
found native Norwegians who record lyrics on audio, and I listen to
it try to remember the pronunciation. I do understand they can be not
good enough for native Norwegians, but I did try my best. Also, the
worth noting is that those shanties are written in quite an odd form,
it is not used language with a kind of Danish way of pronunciation.
You can find the names of people who helped me in those shanties in
the description.
Beware, next my shanty will be "De Hoffnung" - my first German
Shanty.
