Radio Lingua in prestigious company on iTunes

The new series of One Minute Languages podcasts from Radio Lingua have been featured in prestigious company on iTunes UK and US. As a result, both One Minute French and One Minute Japanese have knocked Coffee Break Spanish off the top spot in Education (UK), and One Minute French is currently at #15 in the overall podcasts list. More information on the One Minute Languages series can be found on our website.

Great coverage for One Minute Catalan in El Punt

Following the launch of our new Catalan course, and Radio Lingua director Mark's own Catalan language challenge which culminated in lots of Catalan speaking on his recent trip to Barcelona, this article appeared in Sunday's El Punt. It's very similar to what appeared on the Vilaweb article. If you want to test your understanding of Catalan, download the pdf here.

One Minute Catalan is going very well - we're seeing good metrics, helped along by the One Minute Languages series being featured on iTunes in the UK and US!

One Minute Norwegian launches

One Minute Russian now available

We're delighted to announce the fourth title in our One Minute Languages series. One Minute Russian launches today with weekly episodes in which you'll be able to pick up the basics of Russian with our teacher Ann. Find out more on the One Minute Russian website.

One Minute Languages Courses now available as Premium courses

We're delighted to announce that our One Minute Languages courses are now available as full premium courses featuring pdf lesson guides and enhanced podcasts, allowing learners to see the words and phrases as they listen.

One Minute Polish and Irish have been running for a few weeks and we're introducing One Minute German and Russian next week. However, the full courses are already available for all four languages and can be purchased as one-off downloads, giving immediate access to the ten lessons in each course.

One Minute Languages courses are not about becoming fluent in the language: they're created to give you a start in the language and build your skills and confidence to allow you to try out the language with friends and colleagues who speak the language, or while travelling abroad. Remember - even a few phrases in a language can go a long way!

Each course costs only £3.50 (around $7.00 USD) and they're available now in the RadioLingua Store.

Following the success of our recently-launched One Minute Polish, we've added a second language to the series, this time Irish, or Gaeilge as it's known in Ireland. Join teacher Eoin as he introduces the basics of Irish in ten weekly lessons of just a couple of minutes. Further languages will be made available after the holidays. Find out more at the One Minute Irish website.
