Tune in this week as Jared and Diana from Speaking Latino joins Jim and May to chat about their Spanish learning resources for Spanish students and teachers alike.

One of their biggest hits is a work called "Speaking Boricua," which is all about Puerto Rican Spanish. 

In the episode, both parties remark about how Puerto Rican Spanish is full of African influence, how the letter "R" becomes an "L" a lot of the time, and why Spanglish is such a big deal in everyday life.

Jared and Diana give their opinion on code-switching and even give some advice for new Spanish students.
