Dotsub proiect

Good morning to all the followers of music!

Do you like to listen to music? If the answer is yes, welcome to this article! At this time, we have done a very interesting and useful work. The aim of this project was to subtitle a song in different languages, for that, we had chosen a video music in English and translate it into different languages. Firstly, we had made a account on a program Dotsub, which is a very simple application and we studied how to use it.

In our case, my partner Karla and me we have translated into five languages, which are, English, Basque, Spanish, French and Italian! The song that we decided was called "I can't remember to forget you", a very amazing and at the same time romantic song. You probably know this song because its singers are famous all around the world. It is recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, featuring Barbadian recording artist Rihanna.
I'm sure that you know them, but in spite of everything I will give you the most relevant information. As you maybe know, Shakira was born on February 2, 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia. She began writing her own song when she was merely 8 years old, and then at age 10 went to compete in either local or national talent contests in which she always won.  Shakira's music has a personal stamp that doesn't look like anyone else's and no one can sing or dance like her, at whatever age, with such an innocent sensuality, one that seems to be of her own invention. However, Rihanna was born on February 20th, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, but now she lives in USA. Her music styles are pop, dance, dubstep, dancehall, reggae, rhythm and blues & soul and she has collaborated with many other famous singers such as  Katy Perry, BeyoncĂ©, Lady Gaga, Shakira, Eminem, etc.

Definitely, I liked a lot this project, because we have worked with music, with the song that we liked, so it has been different from the other works and very entertaining. Besides, it is also enriching to study how to use this page, if some day  you want to work in one video music.

Here you have a result of our work. Enjoy it!

ANIMALS QUIZ

Hello everyone! Once again, you can see the last work that I have done in class, and as I always do, I'm going to explain you how I did it.

The work consisted on making a quiz about a topic that we wanted. We have done in pairs and we decided to do about the curiosities of strange animals, because we thought that would be interesting to know a bit more about it. We did 21 different questions and later we copied them in the Hot Potatoes program. Each question has four possible answers,  one of which only is correct.

If you want to see how much you know about this topic, encourage to do these exercises!  Click here.

Good luck!!!
