In this episode of Coffee Break Italian Season 3 we are introducing our new story series ‘Il tesoro di Montespelonca’! Throughout the story we will put into practice all of the grammar and structures covered in the first 30 episodes of Season 3. It is set in Montespelonca, a lovely village in the centre of Italy and we follow Alessandro, an eleven year old boy, who lives there with his family and dog, Stella. The village is busy for the yearly Sagra della Lenticchia (the Lentil Festival) and all seems going well until Alessandro realises that Stella has run away. Despite looking for her everywhere, she cannot be found and Alessandro is seriously worried!

For learners who can already navigate the basics and crave a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the language, Coffee Break Italian Advanced offers a rich and engaging path forward. Hosted by teacher Mark and native speaker Francesca, this podcast from Coffee Break Languages moves beyond introductory phrases to explore the grammatical structures and sophisticated topics relevant to the B1 and B2 levels. Each episode feels like a focused, yet relaxed conversation where Mark and Francesca unpack a specific language point-perhaps the subtle use of the subjunctive mood or the finer points of complex sentence connectors. This discussion then naturally leads into a crafted dialogue, allowing you to hear those very structures used in a realistic context. The pace is deliberate and the explanations are thorough, making even challenging concepts feel accessible. Listening to this podcast is like having two knowledgeable guides patiently walking you through the intricacies of Italian, helping you to think in the language and express more complex ideas. It’s designed for those who want to refine their comprehension and move from functional to fluent, turning a coffee break into a genuine step forward in your language journey.
