We highly recommend a quick view of this video of the song Let It Go from Disney's film Frozen.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC83NA5tAGE

This version of the song is sung in 25 different languages and an intriguing fact is each of the 25 languages were sung by a different person.  It sounds so seamless and unified.

Of course many languages were omitted from the song.  Enjoy hearing languages such as English, French, German, Dutch, Mandarin, Swedish, Japanese, Latin American Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Korean, Serbian, Cantonese, Portuguese, Bahasa Malaysia, Russian, Danish, Bulgarian, Norwegian, Thai, Canadian French, and Flemish.

We applaud Disney for highlighting the difference in Spanish and French languages.  Often the distinctions and uniqueness of European languages versus North/South American languages are not well-known or distinguished.  

Which language do you think should have been represented and was not?
