Learn Spanish con Salsa | Spanish lessons with Latin music and conversational Spanish

In this episode, I’m joined by two special guests from our Language Coaching team at Spanish con Salsa—Kelly Delgado from Cuba 🇨🇺 and Maribel from Colombia 🇨🇴.
We're sharing 8 unique Cuban Spanish phrases that you’ll definitely want to add to your vocabulary!
But here’s the twist...
Maribel and I have to guess the meanings of these phrases before Kelly reveals what they really mean. 🤔
Can you guess along with us? Let’s see how many you get right!😅

✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• How to say liar in Cuban Spanish 🧐
• The real meaning behind the Cuban phrase "hazme la pala" (Nope, it’s not about digging 🛠️)
