Customer Reviews
Love it.
Coffee break Spanish helped me from beginner to intermediate Spanish and now I’m in Italy and decided to pick up coffee break Italian 3 weeks ago ! I have successfully had about 6 interactions all in Italian today alone only from listening to this podcast. each time they understood me, responded and I understood the response, so exciting !!
Great content
Excellent content that has helped me substantially with my Italian. Highly recommend!
Excellent Concept of multiple perspectives!
I have just began listening to these podcasts routinely as well as doing my Babbel app grammar lessons. I have found listening and speaking as if I were in conversation very helpful!! The fact that there are three perspectives as well as myself the listener is a great concept. To not just learn by a highly efficient speaker, but to also listen to a learner ask the questions during that we couldn’t ask.
