Comme Avant - by Marie Mai

Comme avant
Vivre entre le noir et le blanc
Comme avant
Quand l'univers nous paraissait plus grand
Nos souvenirs d'enfance
Éternelle insouciance
Comme avant
Et revenir de loin pour un instant
(refrain)
Oublier que tout se casse
Que la vie nous dépasse
Comme avant
Contre le temps
Remonter les jours
Et retrouver l'innocence
Comme avant
À contre-courant
Emmenée vers un passé
Où rien n'a d'importance
Comme avant

Comme avant
Rire à en pleurer pour un rien
Comme avant
Apprendre à marcher sans tenir la main
Comme une renaissance
Moment qui recommence
Pas de fin
Parce qu'il aura toujours un lendemain

(refrain x2)

Contre le temps
Remonter les jours
Et retrouver l'innocence
Comme avant
À contre-courant
Emmenée vers un passé
Où rien n'a d'importance
Comme avant

inilah salah satu lagu yang kusuka, dia pakai bahasa perancis, tapi liriknya cukup gampang dan maknanya juga lumayan gampang dimengerti. Pelantun lagu ini namanya Marie-Mai, Elle est une Quebecois.. Kalo diterjemahin liriknya kurang lebih begini ini

Like before

Like before
Living between black and white
Like before
When the unverse would seem bigger
Our childhood memories
Eternal Carelessness
Like before
And for a moment come back from far away
(Chorus)
To forget that everything breaks
That life passus us by
Like before
against time
Go back to those days
And find our innocence back
Like before
Against the current
Dragged to a past
Where nothing has any importance
Like before

Like before
Laugh and cry for nothing
Like before
Learn to walk without holding a hand
Like a re-birth
A moment starting over
No ending
Because there will always be a tomorrow

(Chorus x2)

Against time
Go back to those days
And find our innocence back
Like before
Against the current
Dragged to a past
Where nothing has any importance
Like before

oh iya, kalo kalian mau tahu cara bacanya, liat video ini dulu yaah

Betapa Pentingnya Bahasa

Dari 700 Reasons for Studying Languages oleh Angela Gallagher-Brett:

Language learning is enjoyable

Language learners believe that languages promote
better relationships with others (individuals and
countries)

Instruction in a foreign language can have a direct effect on the development of cognitive processes (Swarbrick, 2002: 14)

A language expands your range of thinking (sixth former)

Language training has an aesthetic and artistic value (Leathes Report, 1918; cited in Byram, 1997: 52)

Plurilingualism enhances creativity (Skutnabb-Kangas, 2002: 14)

International and foreign language education is a break with the focus on our own society in order to find new perspectives which allow us to be
critical of our assumptions (Byram, 2002: 47)

The assumption is that increased foreign trade, closer European links, the effects of globalisation and even the war on terrorism will increase the
demand for skilled linguists in an increasing range of languages (Connell, 2002: 3)

Languages are a lifelong skill - to be used in business and for pleasure, to open up avenues of communication and exploration, and to promote,encourage and instil a broader cultural understanding (DfES, 2002: 5)
