Author: Coffee Break Languages January 17, 2020 Duration: 30:00

¡Feliz Año Nuevo! We're starting a new year of Coffee Break Spanish with episode 4 of our third season of the Magazine, and the topic for this week is salsa. Not the kind of salsa you put on your fajitas, but the dance which is popular all over the world. There's a question from listener Namrata about combining infinitives, and Sofía shares a fantastic Spanish tongue twister which will get you practising your pronunciation.


In each episode of this 10-lesson season for intermediate learners you can build your vocabulary, increase your understanding of grammar and learn to use the Spanish language in a more natural way. This series is aimed at intermediate Spanish learners. If you have a question for the show, call our voicemail lines: UK - +44 (0) 141 416 6880; US (347) 474 6880; Australia (08) 7200 6880, or visit coffeebreakquestions.com and leave us your message.

The journey to learning a new language often feels like a monumental task, but Coffee Break Spanish reimagines the process as something you can genuinely fit into your daily routine. Created by Coffee Break Languages, this podcast structures its lessons around the idea that meaningful progress happens in short, consistent bursts-the kind you might enjoy with a cup of coffee in hand. You won't find overwhelming grammar lectures here. Instead, each episode is a focused, friendly conversation that zeroes in on practical language you can actually use, building your confidence piece by piece. The show is carefully designed to grow with you, starting from the very first words and phrases for absolute beginners and gradually introducing more complex concepts as you move through the seasons. Listening to this podcast feels less like formal study and more like joining a helpful guide who breaks things down clearly, always with the goal of helping you communicate with native speakers. Whether you're preparing for a trip, connecting with heritage, or simply exercising your brain, the approach is both accessible and deeply effective, turning those small moments of your day into tangible steps toward fluency.
