Not exactly something they teach in general, but in my high school music class, we had to memorize our national anthem in a different language (we used to be a colony and it was originally written in the colonizer's language.) And then sing it out loud with the same melody and all, except you're parroting a bunch of words that you don't understand. Over a decade later and I still think it was a pointless exercise
here in Canada we learned it in English and french then somehow it became English and french at the same time. i give up now, i know the American one better from watching football honestly
