slight section tweak

Ciao ragazzi, I'm making a few changes to this section of the site. First of all, no more youtube embeds, since their content gets removed a lot, and the user-generated vids are usually pretty tacky, and it mostly violates copyright. Instead I'm going to use Deezer, which pays royalties on the songs it hosts, but it's audio only, no video.

Secondly, since the idea of this section is to expose you to Italian through music, I won't post anymore musica napoletana (since the lyrics aren't in Italian). You can hear hundreds of bellissime canzoni napoletane on Radio Tutorino.

And lastly this section won't contain anymore listening exercises, just songs and lyrics, since I'm not too sure those exercises were so useful. I think they were kind of clumsy and ruined the pleasure of just listening more than anything! What I might do is annotate the lyrics with some grammar highlights like I do with the proverbs. But basically as long as you read the lyrics while listening, you'll get good passive exposure to the language pronounced correctly in all its idiomatic glory, for some great models to imitate. Which is what this section is meant for. Ciao for now!
