1800BurnettstreetHelpHola, I have the basics bc I went to medical school in Mexico 100 years ago but I want to be a LOT better than I am now. I am thoroughly enjoying your podcast after sampling many others. What would help me and perhaps are others are two things. 1- if the woman could speak slower 2- if you can quickly spell a word sometimes. For example, I was listening to a podcast where you were discussing Tener. Along the way to say one is thirsty you used the word sed. This is not the perfect example bc I knew that word but if I didnāt I would not be certain how the word sed was spelled or even sure what the heck you were saying. All that to say a quick spelling of a new word from time to time would be helpful. Thanks guys, Paul

CD in VAMuchĆsimas gracias!!While I was studying Spanish full time for nine months, Coffee Break Spanish was key in the process. It was just perfect for my commutes and I came away with a lot of good tips and lessons. Muchas gracias a todos! No soy un hablante de espaƱol perfecto pero no habrĆa podido tenido tanto Ć©xito sin Coffee Break Spanish!!

TennisMommaGreat travel prep!A couple times now traveling to Spain Iāve tried to brush up on my high school Spanish before the trip. Iāve tried other āname brandā apps but this has been the most helpful for learning how to pronounce Spanish words and learn the key words that will help for a week trip in Spain. Itās so fun to listen to! Great job! Iām hoping to continue the mental challenge even after our trip. Gracias!!

Ade:lNot the bestThe words are exaggerated. I learn better using Duolingo and watching shows in Spanish than this. Spaniards donāt sound like this.

The NerdlingerGreat but Cara ruins itMark is an amazing, thoughtful, and logical teacher. But unfortunately Cara the student ruins the podcast. Iām currently trying to rush through season 2 so I can be rid of her. She never gives the listener time to respond to Markās questions so I find myself having to constantly pause the podcast (lest my voice overlap with her atrocious accent). And she is always either laughing or stifling laughter, even when what is being said is not funny or intended to be funny. For example, Mark will go through the full conjugation of a verb and when Cara repeats it, you can hear her bizarrely on the verge of guffawing by the time she gets to vosotros. I wish Mark would redo the first 2 seasons of the podcast but with a better student or no student at all.

pdxjordanjayāEso EsāSuficiente!!!

willajs27Karaās pronunciation is so distractingShe pronounces every word differently than Mark. Makes it incredibly hard to listen to this otherwise great podcast

CurteousjonesjrSpain Is RidiculousThe pronunciation of cās in Spain is ridiculous. Then to learn it comes from the copy-catting of a royal speech impediment is incredibly pretentious. And donāt get me started ābosotrosā, remarkably inefficient. Latin American Spanish 10x better.

Bill2412Great podcastGive it a shot, this will exceed your expectations. Cool way to learn Spanish.

RCB94Wonderful Spanish learning toolI am at a B1-B2 level of Spanish and currently on season 3. I love it. I appreciate all the work put into it. Some of it is too basic, some at perfect level and dime a bit harder- but thatās how we learn. Also this should be only one tool in the language leaning journey. The telenovela is especially fun for me- donāt know if there will be more in the future seasons. Yes, for us in the US- a Latin version would be better- but either way I canāt complain. Would like to try the premium content ( any discounts;). Thanks

Truth juiceI like itI love this podcast! I love the slow pace when they speak. Itāa so helpful when following along repeating everything.

joe11117FantƔsticoThis podcast is an incredible resource. Warm, well-structured, fun, and practical.

Panamagurl60Great continuation of the seriesCoffee Break Spanish Four continues the story of Rory and Maria on the island of Mallorca. I really like all of the context as well as the expressions used by native speakers. The extended audio is perfect to listen to while walking my dog, and then I can review the transcript to really dig into any grammar or new expressions. Not for beginners but anyone wanting to take their Spanish to the next level past the textbooks. Iād love a season set in Latin America too (for the different accents and expressions).
-
ETrain7273A Good StartThis podcast is helpful if you're a beginner, but don't rely on it to teach you to become fluent in Spanish.
-
nonnymommaLove the content,This has been SO HELPFUL. I have been looking for something to listen to that would challenge me but wouldnāt leave me in the dust, and this is it! Also, it isnāt boring which is pretty important and rare. Highly recommend!

adventure's os Simon's scieneToo many adsToo many ads and season 2 to season 3 is a too big jump I do not understand the text in season 3 very well because of this

Ken-FACELove this! But it crashesHi! I LOVE Coffee Break Spanish! I subscribe to their premium package for transcripts and bonus episodes. Recently I am trying to download new episodes and when I go to do so the app crashes and I canāt access them. Please fix!

stridge28Love this podcast, BUTā¦I love this podcast so far. Iām currently on 1.15. Iāve been listening on Spotify but I really want to use the Apple Podcasts app because itās what I prefer. Iām not sure what the problem is but when I click on āSee Allā to see the earlier episode of Coffee Break Spanish, my app crashes. I tried on my laptop and it says Canāt connect. Coffee Break Spanish is the only podcast that does this. If you could look into it, that would be great. Thank you :)

Trickaatreat0828Very helpfulLearning and following along with the English rules and Spanish rules is very helpful for me as a person practicing to use my Spanish everyday. Thank you

AldoSpyroGreat resource for learning European SpanishIāve been listening to the ātravel diariesā in preparation for a visit to Spain. Itās been a great resource for polishing up my Spanish listening comprehension and grammar, especially for European Spanish (which I havenāt had any prior exposure to).
-
Baerchen123Grammar excessIf you want a grammar lesson, this is your thing. If you want a podcast, then keep looking. :)

Megan639We need a Latino versionLetās be real, European Spanish is only spoken as a primary language in Spain. Latino Spanish is the official language of 19 countries and thatās not even including territories like Puerto Rico. Therefore, Castellano is practically useless for those outside Europe, not to mention, the lisp is just straight up ugly sounding compared to how beautiful Latino Spanish is. Can we please get a practical version of Coffee break Spanish taught by an actual native speaker??? No offense to Mark but his Spanish isnāt perfect and heās admitted to never even stepping foot in Latin America so how can he possibly teach both versions in this one podcast. Just make another podcast please.

Ryry1616Fix your lispMark your lisp is really pissing me off. And i dont need to hear your intro or jingles repedeatley

BennynielsenSouth/Central American Spanish neededThis podcast is trying to teach Spanish from Spain. While it would be helpful for people in Europe, itās terrible for people from North America or anyone wanting to go to the areas that have a lot more Spanish speakers. Many phrases in this podcast are not said at all in Central or South American Spanish speaking countries. The pronunciation is also not used in the Americas. It would be like teaching England English to people from Mexico. The wouldnāt understand the differences in a lot of words. Boot vs trunk when referring the the storage area in a vehicle. Or flashlight in America is called a torch in England. A torch in America starts fires. There are more Spanish speakers in Mexico than any other country, including Spain. And the language of Mexico is closer to the rest of Central and South America than Spain. This podcast really needs a sister podcast that teaches the most common dialect of Spanish and not the least common.

SpanishLearner2021This was AMAZING!I wanted to learn Spanish so badly and I came across this. It was AMAZING! I havenāt gotten into 1.02 yet, but 1.01 was SO amazing! You should try this right now!
-
ScakleAbsolutely top notchFor an intermediate Spanish liner, you really canāt ask for anything better. I have taken four Spanish classes and listened to many podcasts. CBS is just as good as some of the best classes I have taken in regard to the overall experience and what I have learned. Plus the personalities are very likable. Keep up the good work!
-
JBLeBlancGreat progressI love that after talking in Spanish, they take the time to explain each sentence in English so you can put things together. When they then repeat the stories I find I am picking it up so much better. Good job!
-
bluelotus15Absolutely Amazing!I have been trying to learn Spanish for years, and the improvement I have seen in my Spanish after listening to these episodes cannot be matched. The recording and structure of the episodes are very clear and informative. Cannot wait for more content!
-
sevilaxxyCara is annoyingMarc is great but Caras pronunciation threw me off doesnāt really help listen to someone that doesnāt speak the language it makes beginners more difficult to learn I understand the concept of Marc having someone to learn the language at the same time as his subscribers but that doesnāt really work out itās better to have somebody native speaking back at you
-
PsblueskiesCoffeebreak Spanish is my absolutemente FavouriteI love listening to Mark and crewās twenty minute session to apprendar Espanol. They are just the right length to learn bits of Spanish on the fly. The vignettes are enhanced by Marks Scottish accent in English and all of the participants high energy. Me gusta!
-
ClintMan310Amazingly Informative LessonsThis is my favorite. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the Spanish grammar as even as an advanced speaker I learn a lot
-
Cliff_787Very helpful!I enjoy Coffee Break Spanish very much. Mark, the host, is very personable, and I find his explanations easy to understand and quite helpful. Like me, Mark is excited about teaching language and culture and about learning new ones himself, so I feel Iām being guided by a kindred spirit. I purchased the premium version of seasons 3 & 4, and Iām finding the transcripts, explanatory notes and translation exercises extremely useful now in season 3; Iām sure they will be even more so in season 4, when there are no explanations at all on the free podcast.
-
BrasspigThe Best Resource for Learning SpanishI have listened to every episode of the podcast and most of them at least twice. The pedagogy presented my Mark is outstanding while making learning fun at the same time. The recording quality is top notch. I am not sure how this podcast could improve other than continuing to produce more episodes. Thanks so much for teaching me Spanish and teaching my wife how to speak with a Scottish accent! š
-
nathan.hirsch23FantasticI canāt believe anyone has given this less than 5 stars. Itās free. It teaches so much. I just donāt know what else someone could be looking for without spending money. Seasons 1 and 2 provide the building blocks for the Spanish language. From there they take you through multiple different stories in Spanish to practice listening and comprehension.
-
Appley456Love IttI really love it because if you start from season 1, which is super beginner (thatās where I am) they really go through each word and I always remember everything!! I love the way they teach and would recommend this to anybody whoās learning Spanish.

Marilyn, Piedmont TriadPerfect!Coffee Break Spanish has kept me company a long time and through many activities - driving, cycling, walking, household chores. With a small investment of time, my understanding of Spanish steadily grew. I didnāt have to make time to attend a class or give up a night of the week. I did all four seasons, then moved onto CBS Mag. Iāve just completed the first season of the CBS Travel Diaries and it was perfect for an intermediate learner like me. I understood a lot, but it also stretched me into new expressions. I liked the listening practice. There was also a speaking component. It was just the right mix of old and new material and many ways to improve. I look forward to the next season of travel diaries! Another plus.....I took a break at one point because of a number of caregiving needs in the family. When I was free to return, it was easy to jump right back in, to review where needed and keep moving.

tortise not the hareFrustratingEvery podcast seems to be the same. They say they are ābeginnerā however, I guess the term ābeginnerā has changed from what Iāve always known it to mean. Every ābeginnerā podcast ends up being 75% fully Spanish conversing or is discussing intricate parts of sentences. To me, beginner means new, as in can hardly say hello in Spanish, so when majority of the podcast is a person speaking 100mph in full Spanish it becomes a waste of time. Where can I find a slowed down, true ābeginnerā Spanish podcast?! Anyone out there with help?
