This
week the students and staff got to watch the Sound of Music as a play. It was
very fun to watch and I enjoyed it very much. The actors were so talented,
especially the children. It was interesting to hear how the songs were
translated from English to Japanese. The most significant change was a song
called Do-Re-Mi. This song uses the
sounds “do re mi fa so la ti do” and in English, these sounds match up with
certain words. However, in Japanese, these sounds match up with different
words. It was interesting to hear how to song changed to fit the language and I
was glad that I could understand most of it. Overall, this was a great language
learning moment and a fun event.
