Teaching through song

Other than the children's songs mentioned here, I also like to use more current (or at least recent) popular songs to provide examples of vocabulary and grammar in a cultural context. For example:

No Voy a Trabajar (Bermudas)

Ir + a + infinitive

Days of the week

-ito

Informal Commands

Mariposa Traicionera (MANA)

Informal Commands

Negation words

A Dios le pido (Juanes)

Indirect Object Pronouns

Subjunctive verbs

Ojalá que llueva café (Juan Luis Guerra)

Subjunctive verbs

Dominical regional food words (cultural interest)
