Coffee Break Spanish

Posted by Mark Winegar on July 23, 2008




The core design concept of this podcast series is brevity. Its just right for me. My friend worked as a spanish interpreter and I often find myself outside of conversations feeling like an ugly American. My plan is to learn enough spanish to speak with her and her spanish-speaking friends and family at dinner someday.

The variety of two speakers with different roles works well in this podcast. There is more going on here than a conversation. We have a master and a learner to make the program more interesting.

I also enjoy how the teacher grounds new vocabulary words by drawing word pictures. This helps us remember the information presented. Listen for the happy cows!

You can find this series on iTunes or on Radio Lingua Network’s Coffee Break Spanish webpage. Just click here!
