Thank God for French Pop Music

Being in France has been nothing short of an exciting adventure for me. One of my most important discoveries has been French popular music. Lately I've been copying the words and singing along as we used to do in high school French class every Friday. Songs help me to practice articulating French sounds and become familiar with common phrases so that I don't have to think about them.

My favorite vehicles to music is Cherie radio (100.6) and the game show, "N'Oubliez Pas Les Paroles" (Don't forget the words). Learning French through music makes my heart sing (no pun intended). The music is is melodic and infectious, and I wanted to share it with you, courtesy of YouTube. They are divided by the artists (but not prioritized) with an English translation of each marked in blue. Get a taste of France's popular music and enjoy it.

Celine Dion

(Celine Dion is French Canadian and she's been around a long time, but I've just discovered her--and, je l'adore!!)
