Q: ok then, mr wurtz. what do you have to say about listening to music where the lyrics are in a language that you don't understand? is this more like instrumental music (ie treating the voice just as an instrument) or what? or what if you recognize some words? how many words do you have to know to switch from instrumental music to... regular? idk maybe you have some ideas on this
A: lyrical music still works very well even when you don't know the language. Everything about the way the words are sung is intended to convey the correct meaning. so the meaning comes across at least 80%
