I remember just enough German from college that I can pronounce the words right and sing along while reading. I had to go back and look at the literal translations to understand each word which makes memorizing easier. I had maybe 10% at best before I looked it up.
I considered trying to do a Cajun song in French and I can’t even read it fast enough to sing along so that is just not doable.

Trying to see what the auto-translation is if you spell it right, but doesn’t show this one to me.
