In today's lesson, you’ll learn useful vocabulary related to what is happening in the world today. To be honest, I didn't want to record an episode talking about the coronavirus because I imagine you are tired of hearing about it, but many students asked me to talk about it. So, I decided to make this episode about common vocabulary that we are listening to in the media every day so that you can better follow the news in Portuguese. I hope it will be useful for you.
