Help
Hola,
I have the basics bc I went to medical school in Mexico 100 years ago but I want to be a LOT better than I am now. I am thoroughly enjoying your podcast after sampling many others.
What would help me and perhaps are others are two things.
1- if the woman could speak slower
2- if you can quickly spell a word sometimes. For example, I was listening to a podcast where you were discussing Tener. Along the way to say one is thirsty you used the word sed. This is not the perfect example bc I knew that word but if I didn’t I would not be certain how the word sed was spelled or even sure what the heck you were saying. All that to say a quick spelling of a new word from time to time would be helpful.
Thanks guys,
Paul

No no no
I’m not learning anything
This is so dumb to wast my time on something I am not learning anything

Muchísimas gracias!!
While I was studying Spanish full time for nine months, Coffee Break Spanish was key in the process. It was just perfect for my commutes and I came away with a lot of good tips and lessons. Muchas gracias a todos! No soy un hablante de español perfecto pero no habría podido tenido tanto éxito sin Coffee Break Spanish!!

Great travel prep!
A couple times now traveling to Spain I’ve tried to brush up on my high school
Spanish before the trip. I’ve tried other “name brand” apps but this has been the most helpful for learning how to pronounce Spanish words and learn the key words that will help for a week trip in Spain. It’s so fun to listen to! Great job! I’m hoping to continue the mental challenge even after our trip. Gracias!!

Not the best
The words are exaggerated. I learn better using Duolingo and watching shows in Spanish than this. Spaniards don’t sound like this.

Great but Cara ruins it
Mark is an amazing, thoughtful, and logical teacher. But unfortunately Cara the student ruins the podcast. I’m currently trying to rush through season 2 so I can be rid of her. She never gives the listener time to respond to Mark’s questions so I find myself having to constantly pause the podcast (lest my voice overlap with her atrocious accent). And she is always either laughing or stifling laughter, even when what is being said is not funny or intended to be funny. For example, Mark will go through the full conjugation of a verb and when Cara repeats it, you can hear her bizarrely on the verge of guffawing by the time she gets to vosotros. I wish Mark would redo the first 2 seasons of the podcast but with a better student or no student at all.

Kara’s pronunciation is so distracting
She pronounces every word differently than Mark. Makes it incredibly hard to listen to this otherwise great podcast

Spain Is Ridiculous
The pronunciation of c’s in Spain is ridiculous. Then to learn it comes from the copy-catting of a royal speech impediment is incredibly pretentious. And don’t get me started “bosotros”, remarkably inefficient. Latin American Spanish 10x better.

Great podcast
Give it a shot, this will exceed your expectations. Cool way to learn Spanish.

Wonderful Spanish learning tool
I am at a B1-B2 level of Spanish and currently on season 3. I love it. I appreciate all the work put into it. Some of it is too basic, some at perfect level and dime a bit harder- but that’s how we learn. Also this should be only one tool in the language leaning journey.
The telenovela is especially fun for me- don’t know if there will be more in the future seasons.
Yes, for us in the US- a Latin version would be better- but either way I can’t complain. Would like to try the premium content ( any discounts;). Thanks

Great continuation of the series
Coffee Break Spanish Four continues the story of Rory and Maria on the island of Mallorca. I really like all of the context as well as the expressions used by native speakers. The extended audio is perfect to listen to while walking my dog, and then I can review the transcript to really dig into any grammar or new expressions. Not for beginners but anyone wanting to take their Spanish to the next level past the textbooks. I’d love a season set in Latin America too (for the different accents and expressions).

A Good Start
This podcast is helpful if you're a beginner, but don't rely on it to teach you to become fluent in Spanish.

Love the content,
This has been SO HELPFUL. I have been looking for something to listen to that would challenge me but wouldn’t leave me in the dust, and this is it! Also, it isn’t boring which is pretty important and rare. Highly recommend!

Too many ads
Too many ads and season 2 to season 3 is a too big jump I do not understand the text in season 3 very well because of this

Love this! But it crashes
Hi! I LOVE Coffee Break Spanish! I subscribe to their premium package for transcripts and bonus episodes. Recently I am trying to download new episodes and when I go to do so the app crashes and I can’t access them. Please fix!
Ken-FACE
Love this podcast, BUT…
I love this podcast so far. I’m currently on 1.15. I’ve been listening on Spotify but I really want to use the Apple Podcasts app because it’s what I prefer. I’m not sure what the problem is but when I click on “See All” to see the earlier episode of Coffee Break Spanish, my app crashes. I tried on my laptop and it says Can’t connect. Coffee Break Spanish is the only podcast that does this. If you could look into it, that would be great. Thank you :)

Very helpful
Learning and following along with the English rules and Spanish rules is very helpful for me as a person practicing to use my Spanish everyday. Thank you

Great resource for learning European Spanish
I’ve been listening to the “travel diaries” in preparation for a visit to Spain. It’s been a great resource for polishing up my Spanish listening comprehension and grammar, especially for European Spanish (which I haven’t had any prior exposure to).

Grammar excess
If you want a grammar lesson, this is your thing. If you want a podcast, then keep looking. :)

We need a Latino version
Let’s be real, European Spanish is only spoken as a primary language in Spain. Latino Spanish is the official language of 19 countries and that’s not even including territories like Puerto Rico. Therefore, Castellano is practically useless for those outside Europe, not to mention, the lisp is just straight up ugly sounding compared to how beautiful Latino Spanish is. Can we please get a practical version of Coffee break Spanish taught by an actual native speaker??? No offense to Mark but his Spanish isn’t perfect and he’s admitted to never even stepping foot in Latin America so how can he possibly teach both versions in this one podcast. Just make another podcast please.

South/Central American Spanish needed
This podcast is trying to teach Spanish from Spain. While it would be helpful for people in Europe, it’s terrible for people from North America or anyone wanting to go to the areas that have a lot more Spanish speakers. Many phrases in this podcast are not said at all in Central or South American Spanish speaking countries. The pronunciation is also not used in the Americas. It would be like teaching England English to people from Mexico. The wouldn’t understand the differences in a lot of words. Boot vs trunk when referring the the storage area in a vehicle. Or flashlight in America is called a torch in England. A torch in America starts fires.
There are more Spanish speakers in Mexico than any other country, including Spain. And the language of Mexico is closer to the rest of Central and South America than Spain. This podcast really needs a sister podcast that teaches the most common dialect of Spanish and not the least common.

This was AMAZING!
I wanted to learn Spanish so badly and I came across this. It was AMAZING! I haven’t gotten into 1.02 yet, but 1.01 was SO amazing! You should try this right now!

Absolutely top notch
For an intermediate Spanish liner, you really can’t ask for anything better. I have taken four Spanish classes and listened to many podcasts. CBS is just as good as some of the best classes I have taken in regard to the overall experience and what I have learned. Plus the personalities are very likable. Keep up the good work!
Scakle
Great progress
I love that after talking in Spanish, they take the time to explain each sentence in English so you can put things together. When they then repeat the stories I find I am picking it up so much better. Good job!
JBLeBlanc
Absolutely Amazing!
I have been trying to learn Spanish for years, and the improvement I have seen in my Spanish after listening to these episodes cannot be matched. The recording and structure of the episodes are very clear and informative. Cannot wait for more content!

Cara is annoying
Marc is great but Caras pronunciation threw me off doesn’t really help listen to someone that doesn’t speak the language it makes beginners more difficult to learn I understand the concept of Marc having someone to learn the language at the same time as his subscribers but that doesn’t really work out it’s better to have somebody native speaking back at you
