What started as a simple idea

Helping people learn a language in the time it takes to have a coffee break. It has grown into something much bigger than we could ever have imagined: new languages, hundreds of lessons, and courses and resources for learners at every stage.

But the most important part of Coffee Break has always been you, our learners. Whether you’ve been with us since those first episodes or you’ve only recently found us, we’re so grateful that you’ve made us part of your language learning.

Perhaps there’s a course you’ve had your eye on for a while, or maybe you’re ready for a completely new challenge. Whatever your goals, we’d love to help you reach them.

“Thank you, I couldn't have been happier with this course and I have already bought Season 2 and Season 3 and look forward to each.”

Scotty M., learning Spanish

“I loved the free material so much that I inevitably felt like shelling out (how to say in French?) for the premium version of Season 4.”

Kevin B., learning French

Three more ways we’re celebrating

As well as the offer, there’s a collection of your stories, a new series and a new website.

Coffee Break Stories

For our birthday, we asked how Coffee Break fits into your life, and we received many messages telling us how you found us, why you started, and what you’ve been able to do since. We’ve gathered some of them on one page, alongside messages from the Coffee Break team.
