🎶 10 Canciones para mejorar tu inglés (A1 y A2)

Hola a todos!!

¿Qué tal estáis? Antes de anda, ¡ya estamos en Otoño! Cuanto nos ha alegrado su entrada para ver si trae temperaturas más fresquitas porque el verano ha sido brutal. Así que, hace unos días, mientras pensábamos ya en las rutinas que traía el amado otoño: manta, sofá, café calentito, un buen libro, lluvia, música… ¿música? Uy! ¿Y si hacemos un post de canciones para ayudar a nuestros lectores a mejorar su listening? Lo preguntamos en facebook y esto fue lo qué pasó.

Que en menos de 2 días, hemos recibido 190 Me gusta a la publicación, y más de 20 comentarios animándonos a que hiciésemos este post. Por lo que no nos quedaba más remedio que hacer el post ¡está claro! 🙂

Hemos querido comenzar por el principio, por eso vamos a arrancar con el nivel A1 y A2 de inglés, para así poco a poco ir subiendo de nivel. Es muy muy muy difícil encontrar una canción pura de un solo nivel, por eso hemos agrupado de dos en dos niveles. Por la lentitud de la letra, la pronunciación del cantante, y la complejidad de los textos, han sido elegidas estas canciones. Por supuesto que habrá más que encajen en este post, abajo en comentarios podéis recomendar aquellas que consideréis adecuadas. Como es la primera vez que hacemos un post de este estilo, si nos hacéis sugerencias y demás, podemos ir mejorando el contenido de los mismos, añadiendo más cositas.

Las canciones las vamos a trabajar mediante un vídeo, y con las letras. Hemos querido poneros algo de deberes, y hemos robado algunas palabras para que vosotros tengáis que saber qué palabra corresponde en ese lugar. Estamos estudiando para ver como crear un test on line, para que podáis chequear vuestras respuestas, pero ese asunto nos está costando más trabajo del que imaginábamos, esperamos tenerlo listo para las próximas entregas.

No penséis que porque sean canciones de estos niveles, al oír solo la música vais a entender todo, ni de broma. Hay que coger práctica para eso.

¿Cómo os recomendamos que se deben de trabajar las canciones?

1. Oír primero la letra, viendo que se entiende  y que no.
2. Oír de nuevo la letra con el texto delante para ir leyendo a la vez y rellenando los huecos.
3. Oír (sí, por tercera vez la letra), e intentar ir cantándola a la vez.

Pues sin más, vamos a pasar a ver cuales son las 10 canciones que hemos escogido para trabajar el nivel A1 y A2 de inglés!

Cómo veis, son canciones que repiten mucho las mismas frases, teniendo un texto cortito. Esto ayuda a que el oído poco a poco se haga, ¿cómo podéis ayudar aún más a mejorar vuestro listening? Viendo series y películas en inglés como os recomendamos en la Sala de Cine; allí tenéis películas y series englobadas por niveles.

Y hasta aquí nuestras 10 recomendaciones con canciones para los niveles A1 y A2, como dijimos más arriba, al principio cuesta. Eso es así. Y un A1 que acaba de empezar a lo mejor se cae de espaldas al oír las canciones, pero con el texto por delante, escuchando la canción en repetidas ocasiones, y trabajando el vocabulario, se hace más sencillo.

¡Nos leemos!
