The Coffee Break German podcast has been a highly enjoyable and very useful tool for learning German. It is not sufficient on its own for becoming fluent in German, but that is to be expected. The podcast is free, but there is a paid membership option which offers additional instruction and learning materials. I have made valiant efforts to explore this option by attempting to sign up for a free-trial period. Unfortunately, despite receiving initial emails (I have tried several times) promising to provide me with the wherewithal to sign up for the free trial, this has never materialized. Attempting to use the web site to get more information is an exercise in frustration as the site is painfully slow to non-functional. So the podcast is great. I suspect the paid membership may also be worthwhile, but it has been impossible for me to ascertain this without, presumably, committing up front to a paid membership.

The CoffeeBreak German is a helpful podcast for learners of German from elementary to advanced levels of the language. It is fun and vibrant and teaches you what you need in a day to day real context. Many thanks to the producers Andrea und Mark
