Awesome
I love this podcast and I’ve gone through it a couple times. However I can’t download the episodes onto my phone anymore. Have the rules changed or is it just a blip in my phone.?
Great Podcast
I’m currently using a combination of Babbel and Coffee Break Italian to learn Italian. Here are some the reasons why I think this podcast great:
- The hosts are pleasant and they do a good job of clearly explaining the material that they teach in each episode.
- They recap what was taught in the previous episode at the beginning of each new episode.
- The episodes aren’t too long (roughly 30 minutes or less) and focus on one topic per episode, which prevents the listener from being overwhelmed with too much information.
- The hosts bring different levels of experience and perspectives with the language (i.e. a native Italian speaker and someone who is learning Italian from scratch)
Combine with DuoLingo
I have been using DuoLingo Italian for about 4 months and although it has been quite good I find the Coffee Break Italian is a huge bonus. It helps to put things in order so that you can actually put words into a sentence and have small conversations. It is a joy to listen to and I am learning a lot faster now.
