I can sing the national anthem of Norway and 'Per Spelman' as well as several French pop songs of the 1060s - learned by ear on       a) a Devonia cruise (to Norway and Iceland - we were not taught an Icelandic song!)and
b) from a French Assistante at school who used singing to improve our accents.
I can't necessarily tell you the meaning of everything I am singing mind you - - !
