Hello Mr. Franco,

Here are some corrections to your writing, followed by a few suggestions regarding good songs that a A2-B1 (low intermediate) student should be able to learn from.

If you are interested, I have a special class which I sometimes teach that helps students become familiar with the slang that appear in popular hip hop and rap music.

Key problem - Can you fix it? The above piece of writing is a single sentence. Where would you put the periods?

Music recommendations:

Stand By Me - Ben E. King

Imagine - John Lennon

Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin


This website has songs that you can listen to to focus on key vocabulary and grammar use:

For example, here is the page for the Pink Floyd song "Wish You Were Here", which the page notes shows good examples of present perfect and "I wish/If only" language:

I like a band called "Love and Theft." I want you to listen to 1. Run Away and 2. Angle eyes. Hope you like them.
