The Spanish 1 text is divided into modules and sections, each grouped loosely around a vocabulary topic or grammar concept. In Module 1, we\u2019ll be learning the basics of saying hello, saying goodbye, and sharing some information in between. To do that, we\u2019ll learn the most important verb there is: \u201cto be.\u201d\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of each module, we\u2019ll offer some music to set the tone and preview the content of the chapter. See if you can figure out what the song titles have in common! Then, if you\u2019re interested, listen to any of the songs that catch your eye. Note: the lyrics aren\u2019t important for now, but if you want to see the lyrics, just search the band, song, and the word letra<\/em> (lyrics).\r\n\r\nBomba Est\u00e9reo \u2014 Soy yo<\/strong>\r\nBomba Est\u00e9reo is a Colombian band founded in the capital, Bogot\u00e1, in 2005 by Sim\u00f3n Mej\u00eda.
