Customer Reviews
Highly recommend!
Having recently moved to Italy from the US, the entire Coffee Break Italian series has been a lifesaver. My required Italian classes now serve as more of a review than a lesson! The podcasts are much easier to follow than the in person classes I’m taking. Great job Mark and Francesca!
The Best
In my opinion, this is the best podcast for learning Italian. It strikes a balance of truly learning while being entertaining. So much so, that I would like to listen to episodes from seasons 1 and 2, but can’t seem to find them. How can I access the first two seasons of coffee break Italian Advanced? Thank you again for the great content.

Great podcast!
Mark and Francesca make the Advanced Italian Podcast vey fun! The grammar rules are presented in a clear and concise manner. I’m finally beginning to use these advanced skills myself. I’m so glad they are doing this because it is a little bit difficult to find podcasts at this level of italian .
