If you have never used poetry in class, this is a great place to start. I like using it in level 3 or 4 because the discussion is deeper but I have let level 2’s listen in the past and they have enjoyed it. I like this particular video but there are a lot of others available on YouTube. The first time I downloaded this I could swear that it said that the video was made with the voice of Neruda himself that the video creator had on an old audio book album. I lost all of my videos when I changed computers and I found the voice but in this video I don’t see anywhere that still says it is the real Pablo! 🙂 So maybe it never was… or maybe it really is. I think its a soothing voice either way!
This was my final poem for my Spanish undergrad…I had to do all sorts of analysis on it and recite it and blah blah blah…oh, the memories!
