- Copy five verses that you might find interesting or new grammatically and its translation from each song.


- Pick up two different verses from each song to compose the lyrics of your own invented song, no translation needed in this case but try to choose coherent sentences to make up a story.

- Listen to the songs on youtube,

- Learn one set of four or five verses by heart.

- Choose one of the songs and listen to it carefully as you read it because it will be your reading test for this course,

and their whole world unravels into chaos.

Glorious chaos.
And what could be more

A noble prince,
a priceless treasure,
and a black-hearted thief.

You know what to do.
