Coffee Break Spanish
Thursday, August 9, 2007 at 09:26PM
I find it weird to brush up on Spanish by listening to a podcast produced by 2 people from Scotland! But the thing is, I like it and I'm learning. The podcast is called Coffee Break Spanish, and while I was doubtful from the beginning, I've changed my mind.
The hosts' (Mark & Kara) Scottish accents don't really get in the way, although it did at the beginning. I think the lessons are very helpful, and sometimes quite entertaining. Most of all, it's audible -- unlike other language podcasts that sound like it's produced in a garage.
While I know that my visit to Barcelona in November, will be challenging due to the primary use of the Catalan language, I might as well arm myself with Espanol. Afterall, who wants to be the "ugly American" in a foreign country?
