Let's learn Spanish with an uplifting salsa song by Salsa Giants called Bajo la tormenta (Under the Storm).  We'll explore how to use el que in Spanish with the letra (lyrics) from the song's chorus.

I'll also give a few phrases you can use in conversations with your language exchange partners as we're all dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Listen to the song and read the lyrics + translation on the show notes page.
