Things have been a bit quiet here at Radio Lingua over the past week or so, and this has been due to a number of things – our team’s other commitments and a problem with the podcast feed engine. We’ve now updated Coffee Break Spanish episode 33 and Coffee Break French episode 66, but unfortunately there is a bug with the podcast feed. We’ve submitted support queries to the companies we use for podcast hosting and feed generation and are waiting on them getting back to us. We’ll keep you posted with this and update the feeds as soon as possible. In the meantime you can listen to the episodes on the site. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

(Show Time Spanish episode 34 is due very soon!)

Lesson 11 concentrates on dealing with problems associated with languages. You’ll learn how to say which languages you speak and ask for help understanding what is being said to you in Spanish.

We’ve been running a bit behind schedule with Coffee Break French and until today we’ve not really been in a position to explain what’s going on. Anna has actually been unwell and has been in hospital. She’s now on the mend and is looking forward to getting back into recording the future episodes. 

As we explained in the announcement which went into the feed today, we’ve decided to start back with episode 41 in January 2009. We really weren’t sure about things until the past couple of days, and Anna wanted to record a message to everyone to explain things. She’s not quite ready to start recording full episodes, but will be soon.

For premium subscribers, we’re suggesting that you cancel your subscriptions – we ultimately want everyone to move over to our new system anyway and this will be fully ready in January. There will be further content in the premium feed between now and then to make up for the lack of new materials. 

We’d like to apologise for the lack of information about Coffee Break French in recent weeks, but it’s been a bit difficult to know exactly what to say about when we’d be able to start up again. Now that Anna is on the mend we’re delighted to be able to give further details and would like to thank all our listeners for their patience and understanding.
