Coffee Break Spanish Podcast

Coffee Break Spanish Logo

Summary

A quality production! This podcast is professional and quite popular. The focus is mainly European Spanish, but information is also given for Latin American Spanish where needed. Really, this is good for anyone wanting to learn Spanish for travel and other reasons.

There is also a nice forum on the website where you can request content for future episodes and other such community-oriented things. Bien hecho!

From Website

You can download each episode to your computer and copy it to an iPod or any mp3 player to take your learning with you wherever you go. Alternatively you could burn CDs of each episode, or copy them to your mobile phone. When you're learning a language it's good to make use of any opportunity to practise what you're learning. If you have Coffee Break Spanish with you at the gym, while walking the dog or mowing the lawn, you'll be able to maximise your learning time and you'll make excellent progress.

In addition to the weekly podcast episodes which cover the basics of the language we also provide a range of additional materials to help you consolidate what you've learned. We'd encourage you to listen to the podcasts several times to make sure you've understood everything. We also provide additional bonus podcasts which allow you to review the same language covered in the basic podcast in a different way: sometimes this involves relaxation techniques, sometimes it's with music or with a quiz. The bonus podcasts also offer additional vocabulary in each theme which allows you to broaden your range of expression.

In this week's lesson, you will be able to practice your listening skills once again by listening to Andrew and Maria-Josà as they talk about birthdays. We will also take a look at the future tense and how it is formed, using regular and irregular examples.

In episode 72, youâll hear a second conversation between 'Andrew' (Mark) and 'Maria-JosÃ' (Lorraine) and Kara will test her comprehension and listening skills along with our listeners. Mark will also help to break down the conversation so Kara and our listeners understand more about the tenses and phrases used.

Episode 71 is the first of several episodes which aim to improve your listening skills. You'll hear a conversation between 'Andrew' (Mark) and 'MarÃa-JosÃ' (our new team-member Lorraine) and Kara will test her comprehension skills along with our listeners.

In this weekâs lesson, we deal with a situation which many Spanish-learners are scared of... a phone conversation in Spanish! By the end of the lesson, we guarantee youâll be able to handle a Spanish phone-call with confidence!

In Lesson 69, we discuss hiring a car in a Spanish-speaking country and look at some questions and phrases that may arise as part of this transaction. Although we hope you never find yourself in this situation, you'll also know exactly what to say if your car breaks down!
