This part is actually really nice. I played it on the speaker for my roommates, and they actually complimented it, which is not what I originally expected. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

This part covers itself. The music replaces the need for words to tell the story. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

For some odd reason, the only words I can almost comprehend in this segment are "excuse me." Im not sure what the Chinese letters mean, but from what I heard, I feel like I understand some of what is being said. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Regarding if I wanted to speak along, I actually tried singing along with the vocalist, emphasizing the first English word and the sentence on the slides after the 12:30 mark. It was hard, but I tried. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

A slide I really enjoyed was at the 7:50 mark. The bottom text, "To possess four walls allows companions," really struck me and reminded me of a fishbowl, with the fish being the companion underwater. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

A few rules I thought were being broken are that the text on these slides is scattered, which is probably a stylistic choice but is improper. Also, I noticed two instances when the audio did not match, primarily when listening and reading at the start. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I felt like a stranger. I can read the English text on the slides, but I felt out of place. Obviously, the Chinese characters and sounds are not things I am familiar with, but I loved appreciating them from a distance, as a stranger. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

This sound stays on my mind because of how relaxing it was. At many points, I just wanted to close my eyes and mainly follow the audio. It was quite beautiful. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

This auditory-visual experience shows me how much of an effect both can have when fused together like this. In many moments, I felt as if the audio complemented the visuals really well, but at other times I saw a clash that felt abrupt -- showing how sound can impact visuals. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I could not understand a few of the slides with text, but it definitely felt like a poem with an underlying, unified meaning, with the feature of a language lesson with the intertwinement of the Chinese characters and English text. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

My brain switched to "this is nonsense" mode at 12:30, when I heard someone sing the phrase "Oh, my God." I was relaxing to the quiet music and reading the text when I just heard that out of nowhere. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I think what is being translated here is meaning, especially with the pacing of the slides, the structure of the text, and the sound of the instrumentals plus vocals, especially when the vocalist emphasized the first word in English in a provoking manner. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I feel like short phrases, when they are said fast, sound like English; for example, when a woman says "Where am I ?" it was easy for me to hear that as English. It gets harder when the phrases are longer, and the pronunciation is slowed down. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I think this is for any native English or Chinese speakers to bridge the gap that can be made between these two languages when they are transformed via diction and surrounding noise. Therefore, I feel included, like I am representing half the population this was made for. #hwa3 #yingelishiparty

I think sound is being translated more than meaning, because the combination of the English pronunciation and the background instruments combines to translate ordinary language into an art form. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

When the background music kicks up and the speaker begins to almost sing the English instead of sounding it out it begins to sound like a Chinese folk song. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I feel like the sound lands directly in my brain, as I am live time computing between the English and the Chinese influence #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

When I cover the English that is being spoken and read the translation, it is hard to hear the actual English, and it begins to sound like I am listening to something in Chinese. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I want to speak along, but I can't; my brain is reading and processing the words on the screen in English faster than the speaker. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

We all look forward to our vacations and time to travel. When you are on the way to the airport, there's a certain feeling in your stomach that listening to this almost replicates in a way that makes me eager for my next trip. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty
