We have reached the tenth and final episode in this series of the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine and we're rounding off the season by talking about one of the most cultivated cereals in the world - corn! Through the text featured in this episode, we find out where the term 'corn' comes from and its importance in Latin America. Of course, Mark and Anabel pick up on the important language points along the way. Alongside the range of nouns, verbs and adverbs, we hear some interesting phrases such as tener en común, querer decir and por cierto. That's not all! We also have the opportunity to practise forming plural phrases in Spanish and learn more about how to use propio/a and mismo/a.


There are a total of 10 episodes of Season 2 of the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine. If you'd like to benefit from lesson notes, transcripts, vocabulary. lists and exercises, you can access the premium version of the Magazine here.

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.
