Esta es una lección totalmente gratuita, disponible en Bablingua (para profesores, con actividades y soluciones) y FlippedSpanish (para estudiantes, con un vídeo interactivo). Todos los profesores que lo deseen pueden copiar, modificar y difundir su contenido en la manera que consideren mejor para sus alumnos. En marzo de 2020, fueron muchos los colegios que tuvieron que cerrar para frenar el avance del coronavirus. En ese contexto de caos y desánimo general, nos pareció importante hacer una lección sobre cómo expresar los sentimientos, con el principal objetivo de ayudar a profesores y alumnos a empatizar y compartir sus emociones en momentos tan duros. El vídeo (disponible también con subtítulos en Bablingua) recoge el testimonio de muchas personas, de diferente nacionalidad, edad y clase económica, mayormente confinadas en sus casas a raíz de la propagación del virus. Recomendamos a los profesores tanto utilizar el vídeo completo como dividirlo en tres partes: 1 – El mundo hoy 2 – ¿Cómo estás? 3:04 3 – Gracias y ánimo 5:27

In “El candombe uruguayo” we cover many issues about Uruguay -where it is, celebrities, el mate (the national drink)- and we focus on its traditional music. The “candombe” has been recognized by the UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage of humanity, and it is a great topic to include in your Spanish classes. You can watch an extract of the video at: https://vimeo.com/49995861 As far as the grammar, the video and the activities review how to ask questions in the present simple. In a foreign language class, teachers normally ask questions and students have to answer them, but there’s a risk of repeating this pattern everyday: students might not feel comfortable when they switch roles and they are the ones who have to make the questions. In “El candombe uruguayo” we review simple yes/no questions (”¿Tiene Jorge Drexler hijos?”) and we pay a lot of attention to the interrogative words (cómo, cuál, cuándo, cuántos, dónde, por qué, qué, quién, etc.) We suggest that students follow the example of our interview about the candombe (and other examples included in the PDF booklet) to research and present other interesting Uruguayan traditions or people, such as the Uruguayan carnival, the “murga” (music) or the chivito (food). The video and the activities are appropriate for all levels. The pre-building activities of the PDF document that accompanies the video covers the basic grammar and vocabulary your students need to understand the interview (words such as “calle”, “comparsa”, “ruido”, “tambor”, “tocar”), and they also introduce the topics the video cover (geography -where Uruguay is-, famous Uruguayans, el candombe). In addition to this, the video offers optional subtitles in Spanish.
