CBS Scenes 1.01 | ¡Qué mal trago!

Author: Coffee Break Languages March 27, 2025 Duration: 32:34

Join Mark and Pablo at the start of an engaging new story! In Chapter 1 of Scenes, our latest course for intermediate learners, we’re introduced to Isabel, her café, and its colourful array of customers. Each chapter unveils a scene from this charming café, giving us the chance to learn more about the people who walk through its doors.


In this first chapter, we meet three nurses - Carmen, Míriam, and Pilar - who are unwinding at the café after their night shift at a nearby hospital. Míriam seems troubled by something, but Isabel steps in to help her feel better.


Alongside the story, you’ll discover useful grammar and vocabulary, including phrases like un mal trago, echar una buena bronca, and quitar un disgusto.


If this sounds like the perfect way to boost your language-learning journey, ¡no te pierdas el primer capítlo de Scenes!

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.
