 These days I have been playing a guessing game in class. My pupils had to guess what was "HAVA NAGUILA". I only could answer "yes" or "no".
    At first, they thought it was an animal and when I showed them Andre Rieu playing the violin at the Royal Albert Hall, they smiled. This is the video:

After Andre Rieu, we watched another video, by Lauren Rose:
