I remember a long time ago, I tried to learn Italian. I had a friend who took Italian lessons in school and I envied him. I made him teach me. I was in love with all things Italian at that point; Italian movies, music, language and culture. I dreamt of visiting Italy too.
I gave up studying Italian because I found it too difficult. Or perhaps my friend was a bad teacher. Although I failed to get a grasp of the language, I continued to love watching Italian movies and listening to Italian songs. I find that when I listen to foreign music, I may not understand the lyrics but I could feel the emotions of the melody.
Just now I learned of this website called Testi and Canzoni. This is a website that has a huge database of Italian hit lyrics. Of course, they also have English and French songs besides Italian.
What else can you do at Testi and Canzoni besides singling along with your favorite tracks, since you can get hold of the lyrics easily? Well, watch music videos, of course. Basically, Testi and Canzoni is an entertainment website where you can enjoy the latest hits in the charts. Like I said, you don’t need to know the language to enjoy the creativity of the Italians.
And if you do want to buy a particular album, you can easily click out from the website and purchase the album, or track. I like this feature because it saves me time from searching on the web just to buy one particular track, you know?
And it is kind of funny that the other day, I thought that I would look for the lyrics of Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black. This is not Italian but I still found it on Testi and Canzoni. They do have an English section too!
