This songbook may also be used in an educational and musical context, as it allows discovery, or rediscovery in some cases, of the Russian language. It is intended that these translations be sung (karaoke style) while playing and listening to the recording of the Russian song and at the same time singing the translated English words from this songbook. Listening to Russian words while singing the English words is the educational interaction referred to in the paragraph above. For teachers and students of both Russian and English languages, singing a Russian song in Russian and straight after in English would help to compare and contrast that song during discussion. A public performance of the same song sung in both Russian and English would help to preserve its original Russian sentiment and also interpret the song. These singing translations are just as essential to audiences, as the English subtitles in Russian motion pictures are to cinema goers. Ivan Renatovich
