Sunny's Predebut Video:
"Learning 3 languages, and doing mock broadcasts: Sunny"
"We were taught Japanese, English, and Chinese. Especially Chinese, we all learned it for about 2 years, so we can speak everyday/conversational Chinese fairly well.
In certain cases like Hyoyeon, she went to China for a year to study the language.
She studied with Super Junior's Shiwon sunbaeneem as well. Although learning the language is important, experiencing the culture was good as well.
We learn ballet as well, to learn posture and pose. Because we're girls our "line" needs to be pretty. We also practiced broadcasting/shows.
We really practice as if it is a real live broadcast. Within us trainees, we MC, choose guests, and have talks;
we even imitated variety shows, and it was really fun ㅋㅋ"
