Songs
A1
Bailando
Enrique Iglesias,
Gente de Zona and Descemer
Mainly present tense with just a few –ing forms (bailando,
subiendo, bajando etc…)
Bailando
Volar
Álvaro Soler
Presente de
indicativo. Regular and irregular verbs.
Volar
La Gozadera
Latin American countries
It might be hard to understand at times but it can be
good if we just focus on the names of Latin American countries. There are also Zumba
clips with this song.
A good idea for an activity is to have a handout with the
map of Latin America and to write the names of the countries where Spanish is
spoken as we listen to the song.
Atención: There
is a mistake in one line: it´s not ´el mundo se está sumando a la gente de los latinos´ but: ´el mundo se
está sumando a la fiesta de los
latinos´
Cuando me levanto
Kiko Veneno
Reflexive verbs
Luka
Suzanne Vega in Spanish
Very simple structures like ´Me llamo luka´ and very slow.
Just one or two simple pasts (fue) but it´s a good song to do at
any level.
Me gustas tú
Good song to practice ´gustar´ (lots of ´me gusta/me gustan´) but it could also be quite confusing, because the title shows a different form that doesn´t seem to follow the apparent simple pattern.
Edited Manu Chao song (one line in the song has been modified)
Me gustas tú
Esto es África
Shakira
It might be hard to understand at times but the chorus is
easy and simple: Esto es África.
A2
Brindo por ti
Macaco
Mainly present tense with a subjunctive in the chorus ´brindemos´ (let´s have
a toast).
Abriendo Puertas
Gloria Estefan
Some present tense but also progressive tense: vamos a +
infinitive and a few –ing forms.
It can also serve as a New Year Greeting type of song.
