European Day of Languages

In Class Three today, while celebrating European Day of Languages we created a song using AI detailing how to say hello in multiple languages. We then learnt the song and recorded ourselves singing it! We then took part in some research, touring various parts of Europe as well as competing against each other in knowledge of languages quiz. #EuropeanDayofLanguages 

We hope you enjoy listening to it!

Lyrics:

“Hello!”, “Hi!” and “How are you?”
You hear these words every day,
At home, at school,
Out in the street
And when we go out to play.
“Hello!”, “Hi!” and “How are you?”
We use them when we’re meeting.
To welcome friends,
To meet new folk
And as a daily greeting.
In English, when you say “Hello!”
You use a special word.
Listen to the sound of it,
Then repeat what you heard.
Hello!
In France, the way to say “Hello!”
Uses different sounds.
Listen to the sound of them,
Then repeat the sounds you’ve found.
Bonjour!
To say “Hello!” in Polish,
There is quite a different word.
Listen as you hear the sound,
Then repeat the sound you've heard.
Cześć!
In Italy “Hello!” is said,
With just a single word.
Listen to the sound of it,
Then repeat the word you heard.
Ciao!
“Hello!” in Spanish sounds quite near,
To the English word ‘Hello!’
Listen to the sounds you hear,
Then it’s your turn to have a go!
Hola!
“Hello!” in Romania,
Should sound very clear.
Listen to the sounds in it.
Then repeat what you could hear.
Bună!
The Danish greeting’s very easy.
It sounds just like a word you know.
Listen as you hear the sounds,
Then repeat the Danish “Hello!”.
Hej, hej!
“Hello” in Lithuanian,
Is quite a different sounding word,
Listen to the word you hear,
Then repeat what you have heard.
Sveiki!
“Hello!”, “Hi!” and “How are you?”
You hear these words every day,
At home, at school,
Out in the street
And when we go out to play.
“Hello!”, “Hi!” and “How are you?”
These are words that we all know.
Now we’ve heard some different ways
Europeans say “Hello!”
Cześć!
Sveiki!
Bonjour!
Bună!
Ciao!
Hello!
Hola!
Hej, hej!
