A song for feelings

 One of my students actually brought to my attention this new Reggaetón sensation, Joey Montana.  La melodía had become one of her favorite new songs.  I ended up adding him to my Pandora station (linked at the page footer).  So the other day one of his new songs came on: Sin ti.  It strikes me as a great tool for talking about feelings (one of our language targets for our Novices).

Feeling language:
me da igual
me siento tan solo
triste (lots of repetitions)
mal humor

And it is such a teenager song (¿Ahora con quién iré al cine?).

Talking points:

• What makes you say “me siento tan triste”?
• What makes you say “me da igual“?
• What puts you de mal humor?
• What are your fechas que recordar?
• What’s this guy’s problema and what is the solución?

(Heads up: One line says lo extraño todo, hasta ese mal humor cuando tenías el periodo.)

I can’t leave you without Shannon’s favorite, La melodía:
