| Title | Spanish-Speaking Capitals Songs |
| Body | Recently several teachers posted to the FLTEACH listserv about how much their students enjoyed songs which teach the names of the capitals of Spanish-speaking countries. One such song is available at http://www.color-connection.com/Catalog/MainCatalog.htm ; read on for information about another. ---- My students loved this song too. Sometimes at the end of class I would say one of the capitals at random and students would shout out the country. I did this with the freshmen. I had teachers who then got these students as seniors and told me they were amazed that these students still retained the capitals and respective countries in their heads after three years. The power of songs/music/rhythm is nothing short of amazing. May, J. Re: capitals rap (Spanish) - ideas for the song. ---- There is another song, "Himno de Las Americas", which has the names of Latin American countries. You can find the lyrics at http://www.musicaperuana.com/letrasx/americas.txt . You can download a free (legal) MP3 from the Radio Atlas website: http://www.atlasdeladiversidad.net/jsp/radio_15.jsp Scroll down to where it says "4.- Himno de las Americas. Cantado por el coro de primero y segundo grado del Emil Friedman de Venezuela". Perez, R. Re: capitals rap (Spanish). Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
