I agree Diane....and lets be real......how many people when they begin singing have knowledge of other languages effectively to say they can sing them with any expertise? I can think of all the high school choirs that butcher languages and the good ones that do good jobs on them. If you do not feel confident in your expertise as in a language as Swedish......find a native in your area that can help you. Listen to recordings of native choirs....there are tons of resources.....Don't limit yourselves!
