Introducing One Minute Zulu

With the launch of the World Cup in South Africa, we’re delighted to announce a new addition to our One Minute Languages series. You can now learn the language of 10 million people living in South Africa and other surrounding countries. Zulu is also understood by over 50% of the population of South Africa, and is one of eleven official languages of the country. Zulu is a Bantu language, written using the Latin alphabet, and contains the famous click consonants c, q and x.

Like all our One Minute Languages courses, One Minute Zulu is made up of ten lessons, each lasting just a couple of minutes. If you follow all ten lessons you will be able to communicate with Zulu speakers. Topics covered include greetings, common words, introducing yourself, talking about learning Zulu and language difficulties, numbers, asking people how they are, and other useful phrases.

The course will be made available over the coming weeks, starting with lesson 1 today. All audio lessons are free. To find out how all the words are written, you can access our enhanced podcasts for iPhone/iPod Touch and iTunes, and our lesson guide which features all the words and phrases included in the course. The season pass for all ten lessons is a one-off payment of £5.00 GBP. You can also take advantage of our World Cup sale to get a 20% discount on this price by using coupon code worldcup at checkout. If you already have an account with Radio Lingua, log into your Control Panel and add One Minute Zulu to your membership. If you’re new to Radio Lingua, you can purchase the season pass here.

Introducing News Time Spanish

So, you’ve been learning Spanish with Coffee Break Spanish, and perhaps you’ve been extending your knowledge with Show Time Spanish. Today we’re delighted to introduce a new show to help you build your vocabulary and develop your listening skills even further.

News Time Spanish is a new weekly show from the Radio Lingua Network aimed at intermediate to advanced learners of Spanish. Each week we’ll be bringing you stories from around the world in short reports, written especially for learners. We’ll be reporting on current affairs, sport, culture, technology and lots more, so News Time Spanish will be an excellent way to increase your Spanish vocabulary and build your range of expression.

The first season of News Time Spanish begins today, 17th May 2010 and you can listen to episode one on our site, or subscribe in iTunes, as usual. Each episode comes with a full transcript of the report, vocabulary and exercises, and there’s even a second version of the audio file which has been digitally slowed-down to help you understand the episode.

Find out more about News Time Spanish on the product page for the show.

Learn the basics of 16 languages

We’ve combined our popular One Minute Languages courses into a bundle and are making these available for a hugely reduced price. Each course normally costs £5 (French, Greek, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin are £10 as they include additional bonus items), but we’re offering the entire One Minute Languages library for the reduced price of £37 (+VAT). You can learn the basics of sixteen languages for less than the price of a coffee* per language!

Topics covered include:

• saying hello and goodbye
• basic words including yes, no, please, thank you
• saying your name and asking other people what they’re called
• talking about language – say that you’re learning the language and that you speak a little
• counting 1-10
• asking people how they’re feeling and answering the question yourself
• other common phrases including happy birthday, good luck, I love you

If you’d like to be able to communicate in basic Catalan, Danish, French, Gaelic, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Luxembourgish, Mandarin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish then click here to take advantage of this offer or view the whole range of One Minute Languages available individually.

*What’s all this about “less than the price of a coffee”?! Well, a Venti Cappuccino in Starbucks in the UK costs £2.65, and we’ve reduced the price of each course to £2.31. Obviously a coffee is priced differently depending on where you purchase it, but we think this is a good deal anyway!

Our discussion forum is back

As we mentioned previously, things have been really busy here at Radio Lingua over the past few weeks and there have been a number of things we’ve been meaning to do. We’re now back on track with Coffee Break French – lesson 78 was published yesterday and the remaining two lessons in the series will be published over the next two weeks.

Our discussion forum recently suffered a major spam attack and we’ve had to filter through all the discussion threads and clean up the spam. We’re pleased to announce that the forum is available again and we would invite our community to join the discussions on the forum. We’re also looking for some users who would be willing to be moderators in an attempt to control any future spam attacks. If you would like to take on this role, please contact us and let us know. It would be useful to know your username in our system in case it’s not clear from your email address. Your duties would simply involve keeping an eye open for any spam on the forum and helping to clean up the forum when it’s required. We look forward to hearing from you!

Production Schedule update

We would like to update all our listeners on our production schedule. We’ve been exceptionally busy over the past few weeks with Radio Lingua Schools work and our on-going publication of Coffee Break Spanish and Coffee Break French has suffered. We have three more episodes of Coffee Break French to record and release before the series comes to an end, and Coffee Break Spanish will continue until episode eighty. We also have a number of outstanding helpdesk issues which we’re working through as quickly as we possibly can.

Apologies to all our listeners in the meantime and we’ll do our best to get back on track in the next few days. We’re recording the remaining Coffee Break French episodes at the weekend and will make episode 78 available soon afterwards.

FAQ: Radio Lingua Coupon Codes

We are often asked if we offer coupon codes or discounts on our products. We do offer discounts from time to time, and these are publicised in five main ways:

1. Our Newsletter – we send out an email newsletter every couple of months and there’s always a coupon code in that which will last around one month. The amount varies in each edition, but there is always some kind of coupon code or discount for some or all of our products. To sign up to the newsletter, complete the form in the sidebar of this page with the heading Radio Lingua Newsletter. You’ll need to enter your name and a valid email address and then confirm your subscription by clicking on the link in the email we send you. Please note that we only send out email newsletters every couple of months, so if you don’t receive a newsletter immediately then it’s simply because we’ve not published one!
2. We sometimes announce coupon codes on the News area of our site. You can keep up to date by selecting Radio Lingua News from the drop-down menu on the site, or simply by clicking here.
3. Twitter – follow @radiolingua on Twitter and get access to discounts. These tend to be very random and in the style of “one day specials”. If you’re not using Twitter already you can join on twitter.com.
4. Facebook – we have Facebook pages for Coffee Break Spanish, Coffee Break French and Show Time Spanish and we also do random sales on these pages. Note that you should become a ‘friend’ of the shows on the Facebook pages, not the listener groups which we’re trying to move away from.
5. The Radio Lingua Club – with a payment of £24.00 GBP you become a member of the Radio Lingua Club and in addition to receiving regular language-learning tip podcasts, you also get an automatic discount of 30% on any future purchase within the year membership. For more information about the club, please click here.

Introducing the Radio Lingua Club

The Radio Lingua Club is now open for business! We’re launching this in response to requests from listeners and existing premium customers who have been asking for help and advice to take their language-learning to the next stage.

Coaching course – Learning a Language

We’ve been developing a course which provides tips, tricks and tasks to help you make progress more effectively in your language learning. This “Learning a Language” course is an incremental course: when you join the club you receive access to the first lesson, and you’ll receive a new episode every week, coaching you through the process of learning a language. Topics covered in the course include:

• getting started with your language-learning
• useful tools for learning
• tips for learning vocabulary
• strategies for building your confidence in grammar
• choosing – and using – a dictionary
• tasks to help you focus your learning
• advice for learning two languages at once

In addition to these topics we’ll be featuring interviews with language learners and teachers who will share their tips and tricks, and we’ll be giving you some practical tasks to help you plan your learning. The club isn’t just for beginners – there is plenty of advice for those of you who have been learning a language for some time.

That’s not all…

We want our Club Members to feel that they are getting an on-going benefit from membership in addition to the course, so we’re offering reduced prices on all our materials. For the duration of your membership, members will be able to buy all our language courses at a 30% discount. Full details of how to access these special prices can be found within the Club Members’ area on our site.

Refer a friend

If you enjoy Radio Lingua courses, perhaps your friends will too! As a Club Member we’re offering you a 17.5% discount code which you can pass on to your friends. They’ll get 17.5% off the cost of our course, and we’ll refund to you 20% of the total sale! Yes, you could actually earn money by referring lots of your friends to Radio Lingua! There’s more information about this in the Club Members’ area.

What does it cost?

Joining the club costs £24 GBP (+17.5% VAT for EU customers) and this is a one-off payment which provides 12 months of membership. So, if you’re wondering about starting to use our products, you may consider starting by joining our club. You will then be able to purchase any of our products at the reduced prices. Please note that you must join the club first, as you will only get access to the reduced prices once you’re a member.

We will be introducing a pay-monthly version of the club which will cost £3 per month, but we’re not quite ready with the recurring payment system yet. We’ll update this information as soon as the pay-monthly version becomes available.

New for 2010: the Radio Lingua Club. We’ve been listening to comments from our existing premium customers and one of the most common requests is for more help and advice for learning languages. We’ve decided therefore to create a ‘club’ around this. Membership to the club will last 12 months and during this time members will receive the following benefits:

1. Weekly podcasts in a brand new “how to learn a language” series featuring tips, tricks and advice on learning language. We’ll also be including interviews with language learners from all walks of life who will share their learning tips. The course will feature tips for beginners and for experienced learners and we’re sure that everyone will be able to benefit from this course, regardless of the language they are learning.
2. Reduced prices on all our content. Members will have access to a special discount rate for any purchases made within the membership period. At certain times we’ll also offer special discounts on certain products.
3. Refer-a-friend refunds. Members of the Radio Lingua club will be able to introduce a friend to Radio Lingua courses at a discounted rate, and receive an affiliate payment. So if you’re a Coffee Break Spanish Season Pass holder and you introduce your friend to the show and they purchase the show, you’ll receive a special payment from us to say thanks.

The Radio Lingua Club will involve a monthly payment of just £4.00 GBP. Alternatively you can purchase a twelve-month subscription for £36. The club will launch on January 1st 2010 with our first weekly language-learning tips podcast. We’re offering a special early-bird purchase offer where you can get 25% off the twelve-month subscription: for just £27 you will get access to a full year’s worth of podcasts, you’ll access the reduced prices throughout 2010, and you will be able to use the refer-a-friend refund too.

To take advantage of this special early-bird offer which will only be available until 31st December, please click here, or log into your Control Panel and add Club Membership (Early-bird) to your account. Please note that the monthly subscription option will only be available after January 1st 2010.

If 2009 has been a big year for Radio Lingua, we’re really excited about what’s coming in 2010! Our Coffee Break French listeners will be aware that we’re moving into lessons 71-80 of Coffee Break French, and we’re often asked about “what happens when Coffee Break French finishes?” Well, we’re busy planning new content for intermediate learners at the moment, and we’re sure that everyone will enjoy what will come after our existing course content.

This year we introduced our first experimental video show – Walk, Talk and Learn French. We were overwhelmed at the response to Walk, Talk and Learn, but as a small company we’ve been limited in terms of the time required to produce more shows. Fans of the show will be delighted to know that we’ve filmed a second series and are working on the content at the moment, ready for launch early in 2010.

We’re a couple of days away from releasing the last ever episode of Show Time Spanish, which has developed into one of our most popular shows. As we’ve explained to listeners, Show Time took an enormous amount of work to produce each episode and we feel that we can’t continue the show in its current format. However, we are sure that Show Time Spanish listeners won’t be disappointed with what we have planned for release in the new year. We’re working on new content which will continue to feature native-speaker conversations and in-depth study of the language. We can’t say too much now, but we’ll be making some announcements early in the New Year.

If you’re interested in languages other than French and Spanish then we’re very pleased to announce that 2010 will bring more content for Italian and German learners and that we’ll continue to increase our range of One Minute Languages.

Last, but by no means least, since September we’ve been working in conjunction with schools in the UK through Radio Lingua Schools, and we’ve been involved in several projects involving languages and creative technologies. In 2010 we’re going to be looking more at the resources side of Radio Lingua Schools and have started work on a major new course for children, due to be launched in August 2010.

Of course, as we’ve said many times, we’re still a small company and we’re doing our best to continue to produce high quality, engaging materials. We hope that 2010 will bring further opportunities for new projects, collaboration and new ideas!

Of course we have lots of ideas as to our new developments, but we’re really interested to hear about your ideas. To this end, we’re asking for 10 minutes of your time and we hope that you’ll be willing to share some of your thoughts about language-learning and your next steps as a learner.

We’ve devised a survey and would be very grateful if you would tell us a little about your language-learning and your experience using Radio Lingua materials. You can give as much or as little detail as you wish, but obviously it’s extremely useful to us if you can provide as much information as possible. There are different sections of the survey, depending on which language(s) you learn with Radio Lingua, and on whether you listen to the free content or use our premium materials. You’ll be guided through the survey and we’ll try to explain why we’re asking what we’re asking.

If you complete the survey you’ll be invited to enter a prize draw – there’s an iPod Touch up for grabs along with five platinum season passes to a language course of your choice!

To start taking the survey now, click here.

All that remains for us to do is to wish each and every one of our listeners and friends a very happy holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous 2010.

Sale extended until midnight GMT on 2nd December

We’ve received quite a number of emails from customers in the US who assumed “midnight on 30th November” meant in their timezone. Our store is on a UK server, so the automatic coupon codes timed out at midnight in the UK.

Our sale ends at:

2nd December 2009 – 16:00 / 4:00pm in San Francisco

Our 25-day countdown to 2010 launches on Monday 7th December.

Radio Lingua celebrates 3 years of language-learning

On 18th October 2006, episode one of a new language-learning podcast called Coffee Break Spanish was released to the world. This show was a bit different from the other Spanish learning shows out there: it was a gradual introduction to basic Spanish presented by teacher Mark, teaching student Kara. At this stage no-one really knew if the idea would work, but Coffee Break Spanish grew to become one of the most popular ways to learn Spanish online. The show quickly climbed the charts on iTunes UK and US, and began to feature in the top podcasts at Podcast Alley and on Libsyn.

Three years down the line and the Radio Lingua Network now produces twenty-seven language courses in eighteen languages and this week saw the sixty millionth download of our language lessons! That means – on average – around 55,000 downloads per day, every day for the last three years.

It’s time to celebrate!

To celebrate this milestone in our company’s development, we’re reducing everything to 60% of the normal prices, ie. 40% off, for one week only, from noon GMT on 18th October through to midnight GMT on 25th October. There has never been a better time to purchase our lesson guides, enhanced podcasts and extra listening materials. Simply use coupon code sixty when you sign up for any of our shows. You can choose between Coffee Break Spanish, Coffee Break French and Show Time Spanish, or indeed one of our shorter One Minute or TwitterLearn courses. By purchasing a membership you can access a range of materials including pdf lesson guides featuring the words and phrases included in each lesson, enhanced podcasts which are perfect for listening on the iPod Touch or iPhone where you can see the flashcards synchronised to the audio, and bonus listening materials to help you improve your language skills even more.

Please note that the coupon code can’t be used in conjunction with any other offer and is limited to one purchase per member. Please note too that in order to qualify for the discount, the coupon code must be used at checkout time. We can’t offer retrospective discounts if the coupon code was not used.

Announcing a new development

We’ve been reading your comments regarding discussion boards and building a community around our lessons. Our previous discussion boards were created before we developed our membership system, so were unfortunately not linked to the system. Today we’re launching our new Community area where listeners can interact with each other, share their language-learning experiences and benefit from collaborative learning with fellow listeners. Accessing the Community is free, but you’ll need to sign up for an account in our system, so we’ll hopefully avoid the spam problems we’ve had in the past.

If you’re already a member of our system then you’ll be able to access My Courses in the community, where we’ll lead activities and generate discussions in which you can practise what you’ve learned in each lesson. My Courses is restricted to our premium members, so if you’ve purchased a Season Pass to Coffee Break French Level 2, you’ll see this course in My Courses, allowing you to interact with your fellow learners in the activities and discussions there. And if you’re not yet a premium member, you can join this week at a hugely discounted price! We’re looking forward to interacting with all our learners in My Courses.

Any questions? Get in touch with us, or post your question in our Community area.

Here’s to many more years of language learning with Radio Lingua!
