Kumar Sanu Reveals Unique Technique for Mastering Song Pronunciation in Multiple Languages
Renowned singer Kumar Sanu shares his unique method for perfecting pronunciation in various languages for his songs.

Mumbai, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : Renowned Hindi cinema singer Kumar Sanu has made a mark with his unforgettable songs in various languages. A notable aspect of his performances is his ability to pronounce words correctly, making it seem as if he is a native speaker of the language.
Recently, during the promotion of his new song “Suniye Zara,” Sanu shared insights into how he achieves this level of proficiency despite not being fluent in many languages. He attributes his success to a unique technique he developed himself.
In an interview, Sanu expressed his gratitude for this talent, referring to it as a divine gift. “I can’t claim to know many languages. I only speak Bengali, Hindi, and a bit of English. I don’t have a strong grasp of languages like Nepali, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, or Marathi,” he said.
Sanu explained that while he has some familiarity with different languages, he has never put in significant effort to learn them. Living in Maharashtra, he has developed a fondness for the Marathi language and appreciates the talented artists in the region. To ensure accurate pronunciation, he focuses on how music directors and lyricists articulate words. He takes notes in shorthand to capture their pronunciation style.
“My notes are filled with shorthand. This method is something I’ve created myself. During recording, I refer to my shorthand alongside the song lyrics. This helps me replicate the pronunciation as closely as possible,” he noted.
Sanu emphasized that while he hasn’t worked extensively on mastering any particular language, his shorthand technique allows him to get as close to the correct pronunciation as possible. This effort has resonated with audiences, leading many to believe he is a native speaker of the languages he sings in.
His approach has not only brought him success but has also garnered admiration from fans who appreciate his dedication to his craft.
