about Coffee Break German?
Definitely I believe the premium Coffee Break German is worth it, especially because the spelling and pronunciation in German are often quite different from English, so it helps to see how the words are actually spelled. The PDF files and video versions of the podcasts are very helpful and well designed.

CBG is a fantastic language course. You are not only learning the vocabulary and grammar, but also interesting facts about German speaking countries, food, culture etc. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a fun and easy way to learn german language.

Really impressive program. I was using the free podcast for the first few lessons, then upgraded to the paid subscription. The video flashcards are extremely helpful and the grammar guru sections are a nice break from the dialogue. The whole thing is professional and polished. A real pleasure to study with-- recommended.

Having not studied languages since I left school almost 20 years ago, I decided to put my daily commute to work to good use and start learning some new languages. I found this Coffee Break series and have been listening to the Spanish, French, German podcasts. It's been a pleasure to listen to Mark and the team and a recent family holiday to Switzerland and France was made so much more enjoyable by being able to speak a little of the languages! I've just been one a premium member of the French series and will do the same in time for Spanish and German. Thank you for the great work you do. Keep it up!

As an advanced Spanish speaker and intermediate in French, I have used Radio Lingua's show- Time Spanish and Coffee Break French. However, I barely knew a single word of German before embarking on Coffee Break German course. Each lesson is well structured with conversation, vocabulary and essential grammar. The Cultural Correspondent feature is an interesting edition - definitely the right decision. The video falshcards are particularly useful as you see the words written as they are spoken. The bonus audio has more conversation and vocabulary, together with a useful test. The written lesson guide builds into an excellent textbook. This is the best Radio Lingua product I have come across and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking to learn, or improve, their German.
