Hi everybody,
Sorry to bother you with this, but my wife requires your help:
She teaches music here in Manosque (Southern of France), and since the
ITER program is in development, she has to deal with beginners (between
6 and 8 years old) just arriving from their mother country and not
familiar with the French language, neither fluent in English (especially
for those particular musical terms). I must admit that this situation is
frustrating for everybody, either Isabelle or the children (and their
parents afterwards).
Having built a glossary with the other French translators of LilyPond,
Isabelle has at her disposal a French-English translation of the basic
terms she uses in the first two grades.
The problem is that most of her "pupils" come either from China, Japan
or Korea, and I have no idea how those terms would look like, and
Isabelle is sad to see them crying when they don't understand (even when
they use their "electronic" translator for which a scale is just used
for painting the ceiling).
Therefore, could anybody give some help and return me the enclosed text
file with a translation (ideally with phonetic) for those languages?
Thanks in advance, for them as well as my wife.
Cheers
