Do you listen to songs that are neither in English nor in your mother language?

Me too. I find myself interested in listening to Italian, French, or Japanese songs. I guess it's influenced by the movies I've watched before, or because of their good melody.

I speak other languages other than English and my native language, so yeah I do listen to some music in other languages. I must admit that I too like korean and japanese songs. I don't really understand japanese much but I do with korean. I also listen to French song (since I understand half-half) and from some other languages from where I come from.

My iPod is full of Korean songs. I'm learning their alphabet (Hangeul) as well. :-) P.S. Thanks so much for dropping a wonderful comment in my discussion a while ago. When I read your message, my heart was deeply touched, and I cried. It made me wanna hug you back. Thanks so much! Have a great life! :-)

I love listening to Korean pop and r&b music even though I only understand a few Korean words. I also love watching their music videos and that is mostly videos of girl groups because they ar so cute

korean music, no offense, is so overrated (at least here in Philippines). they all sound the same to me - arranged, digital melodies with chipmunk voices on top of it. the music videos are even more horrible with boys (or rather gays?) with full make up on. it just gives me goosebumps. japanese music is much better. i started appreciating japanese music when i began watching animated series from japan. they just know how to capture moments in animated series with the right song. i apologize for being mean to kpop music, it's just how i feel about the repeatedly played nonsense in local music channels. i bet kpop fans here in the philippines don't even understand a word from any of them korean songs.

Yes,I like some French songs.Music has no national boundary.A music in any language could be beatiful for its good melody,and even no need to understand the words of the song.We can feel the emotions in the music expressed by the composer.Music is a good bridge to connect all the people around the world.

Yes I listen to Opera Arias in Italian and even not understanding the words the music can touch my soul and bring me to tears.

Then it would be akin to listening to music. I would rather listen to music. To answer your question, I do not listen to songs I do not understand.

Some people might find this stupid but I'm really starting to get addicted to korean songs! HAHHAHA!! I don't understand them but I memorize some of them because I played them over and over again. Well I don't think I'm the only one experiencing this because koreant pop singers nowadays are really reaching the peak of stardom. :)

My native language is English, but I know enough of Japanese to understand much of what I hear in Japanese songs. I love all sorts of Asian music, whether I comprehend it or not. I listen to music in a lot of non-Asian languages, too. Even if I don't understand it, I still think foreign music can be really beautiful.

Yeah, I do. In fact, I'm learning a lot of songs that are not in my mother language. But I see to it also that if I be able to sing it already, I should understand it as well. So I research about it.

Oh yeah! ^^ I like listening to Korean and Japanese songs, even if I don't understand any words from the song. I only know a few songs, but Korean pop like the song "Nobody But You" has been so popular everywhere, and lately, I've been listening to Korean rock star Seo Taiji. On the other hand, the Japanese songs that I'm familiar with are some emo/love songs that originated or were used in Anime's. I especially like "Life is Like a Boat" by Rie Fu and "First Love" by Hikaru Utada. I only know a few select Korean and Japanese songs, but, as they say, music is a universal language. Some music touches the heart and soul of people, and they transcend between different time periods and cultures.

For some reason I like listening to songs in the French language, the sounds are so soft and rounded, it's really nice just to listen to these peculiar sounds along with its melody... :)

I listen all the songs I like, I don't restrict myself into genders and don't care the language of the songs because I listen any style of songs :) I love music and different bands and singers. I don't care about the language of the song like I said Japanese, Bulgarian, English or any other language... If the song is cool, i Love it :p

Sure, there are some songs in other languages that I like. There is a French artist named Lorie that my kids like, I do to. Music is a common thread among all of us, the language barrier just makes me seek out the lyrics even more so I can understand what they are singing about. I have heard some Japanese pop that sounded good, its catchy stuff.

well personally no. i find it weird that i listen to a song that i dont understand. But there are foreign language songs that i know the meaning which i listen to.

There are few non-english and hindi which I do not understand but still listen because music of those songs is very good.

I listen to Japanese songs only when I like the anime where the song is featured. Like for example, I watch Naruto and Bleach now. It's my habit to download the opening and ending songs in short and full version AND look for their music videos as well in youtube. :)

yeah i do, some Korean songs like the ones of 2NE1 and Girls Generation, the main reason is i find the girls sexy, beautiful and cute. Also, some of their songs are catchy, even i don't understand it at all. Thanks for the topic Much respect

hey hey hey i'm into jpop too. and for the same reason! i went to japan for 10 months and learned the language [though not perfectly. i'm thriving:-)] but this addiction started in high school (slamdunk days), so i guess my answer's yes~ i did listen to jpop even when i couldn't understand a single word. what's nice about music is that you're able to connect with it beyond words(*_*)
