Maybe that's how Teresa Teng learned english...singing songs.
Not only her but most of the HK techno-pop artist as well.

She was quite proficient with dialects and languages.

I have her CDs in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, English, and Japanese.
Wasn't she enormously popular in Japan during the 70's? Especially for a foreigner?

Enormous talent. Arguably eclipses the original artists.

Super important. Tell your tutor to correct your mistakes. Chinese teachers (the Chinese ones) are notorious for telling you your madarin is excellent (or at least not bad) when it is horrible.
