Goedendag, Buongiorno!
Wij (Rien, 67 jaar en Karin, 60 jaar) zijn startende studenten van de Italiaanse taal. Graag willen wij onze studie ondersteunen met behulp van muziek en (kinderliedjes). Via deze site vinden wij veel kinderliedjes, heeft u ook een tip waar wij de songteksten (met vertaling in het Nederlands) kunnen vinden?
alvast dank voor uw reactie!
Rien Knol
Beste Rien,
er is geen website die al deze informatie bevat, maar sommige liedjes zijn internationaal en kan je hen in andere talen ook vinden.
Op deze Italiaanse website vind je bijvoorbeeld de teksten van veel kinderliedjes:
https://www.filastrocche.it/feste/canzoni-per-bambini/
Onder aan sommige daarvan (bijv. https://www.filastrocche.it/contenuti/un-elefante-si-dondolava/ ) staan ook vertalingen in andere talen vermeld. Nederlands ontbreekt, maar hopelijk heb je er toch iets aan.
Bedankt voor je bericht!
Giulia
