A fantastic resource

This is by far the best German language learning podcast I’ve found so far. The detailed grammar segments and Mark’s role of linguist-as-learner combine to answer my questions thoroughly. It’s the next best thing to a live tutor.

I have been using this in combination with Deutsche Wells’s online course, and they complement one another perfectly.

Coffee Break German ist ausgezeichnet!

I love CoffeeBreak German :)

Thank you guys for providing a mostly free learning service for those wishing to learn another language. I’m using this along with Duolingo to build a strong starting base in German. I’m happy with the progress I’ve made and hope to continue to make as I grow in my vocabulary and grammar usage :)

Blahhhhfksjfk ,

One of my favorite tools for language learning

I’ve done the full 5 Pimsleur German courses, and I’m working my way through Coffee Break German, and they compliment each other very well. There is obviously some overlap as they start with beginner topics, but the explanations do a very good job at filling in gaps, adding to vocab, and explaining the “why” for some topics.

I’ve done a lot of both coffee break Spanish and German. I really like this German one specifically because Mark is learning it at the same time as the listener. Since he has learned a variety of other languages he always asks very useful and insightful questions about grammar, conjugation, etc. and he is able to compare some things with Spanish and French or other languages which can be very helpful if you’re familiar with them.
