The premium materials for unit 7 of Coffee Break Spanish are now available in our store.

We're going to be "shutting shop" from Saturday 5th July through to Monday 21 July for our summer break. During this time our on-going podcasts will continue to be published and our store will remain fully open. All orders are delivered automatically with the exception of CBS and CBF subscriptions, but these will be processed by a skeleton staff. Any Season Pass purchases will be automatically delivered to customers. Before you buy we would strongly suggest that you add sales [at] radiolingua.com and support [at] radiolingua.com to your address book / whitelist to make sure that you receive your download email.
During the two week vacation period we will not be able to respond individually to support emails. All queries will be dealt with on our return on or around 21 July. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time, and if you're going on vacation, hopefully you'll get the chance to use some of the language skills you've been developing with our help!
We need your help to decide the content of the next lessons of Coffee Break Spanish. At the moment we're planning up to lesson 80 and we'll be maintaining the current style of lesson up until then. If you're a CBS listener, what do you feel you really need to know? Are there any vocabulary topics we've not covered? Any grammar points you've never understood which need the Coffee Break treatment? Join the discussion on our forum, or post your comments here.

We're delighted that Coffee Break Spanish has now reached episode 60, marking the end of unit 6 of our course. Episode 60 offers some review of episodes 51-59, so we're testing Kara on her knowledge of the preterite and imperfect tenses! To find out how she gets on, visit the CBS Lesson Library.
We're delighted to announce the latest addition to our One Minute Languages range, One Minute Luxembourgish. Luxembourgish is one of three national languages in Luxembourg and is very close to German but has heavy French influences both in certain aspects of vocabulary and in pronunciation. One Minute Luxembourgish was, in fact, the very first of our OML courses to be recorded. By chance, Julie, our Luxembourgish teacher, happened to be staying with friends in Scotland and we thought it would be a good idea to invent a short course which could be produced quickly during her stay. We recorded ten episodes of the show one afternoon and the One Minute Languages idea was born. We're finally ready to release OML Luxembourgish to the world and it is our sixth title in the series. Coming soon: Catalan and Japanese!
Over the past few weeks we've had quite a number of things to deal with including family illnesses, end-of-year tax returns and day-job commitments. We're getting back on track now and I'm pleased to report that Coffee Break Spanish lesson 59 is now available, and Coffee Break French lesson 18 has been added to the feeds and website. One Minute Norwegian continues with weekly episodes and I'm pleased to report that we've got some new content in store in the coming weeks for French, German and Spanish learners. We'll also be sending out a newsletter very soon with all the details and a discount code for our premium season passes. If you're not already subscribed, make sure you join our mailing list. Thanks to everyone for your patience over the past few weeks.
We're delighted to announce that the latest addition to our One Minute Languages range will be launched on Monday 17th March. Since we've already introduced One Minute Irish, we have decided to use St Patrick's day to launch One Minute Norwegian. You can access the podcast online or subscribe already in iTunes. Like our other One Minute Languages courses, the podcasts will be published weekly and each lesson will include a few useful phrases in Norwegian. Lykke til!
The gloves are off! We've been watching the iTunes US podcast charts all week with great interest and despite moving into a higher position than the previous #1 This American Life from Chicago Public Radio, a new entry has suddenly climbed up to the top-spot: Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" is an "exclusive online class" starting March 3rd. So, the big question is: can the humble Coffee Break Spanish knock the mighty Oprah and Eckhart off the top spot? Can we from our little studio here in the West of Scotland beat the multi-million dollar industry that is Oprah Winfrey? Can the "little guy" (I'm actually 6'2...) beat the traditional media moguls as they play the new media game? Well, we'll see... but if anyone happens to notice in the next few hours and days a little red and yellow coffee cup edge past Oprah on iTunes, PLEASE get a screen grab for me if I miss it! May the best pod win!
