How can you access archive podcasts beginning from lesson 46? I’ve been working my way through the archives, but now all that’s available is Lesson 1 and from October 2008. I really appreciate your show and want to keep learning.

Assuming you have itunes installed, click on the itunes link for any of the lessons, you will be taken to the itunes podcast menu, click on coffee break Spanish and all 46 podcasts are there

@Michael – you can! Follow the iTunes link below the episode and then subscribe (for free) to the podcast in iTunes. Then sync your iPod with iTunes and you should have the latest episode. Click on “Get all” in iTunes to get the episodes back to lesson 1.

Hi – Just started with coffee break spanish and totally sold it to my friend by word of mouth… but she has a different mp3 player, not an ipod. Can it be downloaded just onto computer, or does it have to be itunes?

Sarah,
I listen to Coffee Break Spanish on my computer, so it must be possible. I use the iTunes link. Mark’s answer to Michael explains it a bit, and I think there are more complete instructions on the “Coffee Break Spanish Step by Step” box on the home page. If your friend doesn’t have iTunes, she can still hear a lesson on her computer, but she may not be able to save it. But it’s easy enough to download it again, if you want to hear it again.
Best of luck!

@Marjorie – thanks for helping out
@Sarah – if you look at the top of this page, you should see a Download link underneath the flash player and the stars rating graphic. It says “Podcast (cbs-podcast): Download”. If your friend right-clicks on the word Download and then saves the file to her computer she’ll be able to transfer the mp3 files to her mp3 player without a problem. Hope this helps.

Gracias! This is educational and fun at the same time. And I must say, I love the theme song. I get it stuck in my head and sing it to my cats.
Like c tang who commented above, I, too, was wondering if the text is available anywhere… I’d like to see how the words are spelled.
Keep up the great work!
