¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Did you know that today is Star Wars day?
May the fourth be with you! Which of course is a nod to "may the force be with you" (just in case anyone out there needs it spelled out...)
So I thought today was the perfect day to look at an initiative on the social media channels of the Real Academia Española that uses the hashtag #QueLasLetrasTeAcompañen. If you take a look at their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds, you can see their campaign that takes a word starting with every letter of the alphabet that could help you feel better. Like a RAE version of our Daily Dose of Positivity! If you'd like to see all the words in one place take a look here:
