Happy European Day of Languages to all our listeners! By way of joining in this international celebration of languages and language-learning we're delighted to introduce eight new podcasts today. We're adding Catalan, Danish, French, Japanese, Mandarin and Romanian to our One Minute Languages series; we're introducing our first podcast for English learners - Write Back Soon will help learners master Phrasal Verbs; and we're finally announcing the long-awaited sequel to Coffee Break Spanish: it's Show Time!

Ever feel like learning a new language is a monumental task you simply don't have time for? One Minute Russian dismantles that idea entirely. Hosted by Ann, an experienced teacher, this podcast operates on a beautifully simple premise: consistent, tiny efforts yield real results. Each episode is a compact, focused lesson lasting just over sixty seconds, designed to fit into the smallest gaps in your day-during a commute, while waiting for coffee, or right before bed. The goal is practical and immediate, providing you with the essential phrases and building blocks needed to navigate common situations on a trip to Russia, whether for tourism or business. You won't be overwhelmed with grammar theory; instead, you'll hear clear explanations and repetitions of useful vocabulary that aim to build your confidence quickly. The charm of this series lies in its accessibility, proving that you can start understanding and speaking without a huge time investment. It’s produced by the Radio Lingua Network, which specializes in this bite-sized learning format. By committing to these minute-long sessions, you’ll gather a toolkit of greetings, questions, and polite expressions that can genuinely transform your travel experiences and interactions with Russian speakers. The cumulative effect of these short lessons is surprisingly powerful, turning a daunting language into something approachable and even fun.
