While it's not so easy to travel right now, why not do some virtual travelling with us? Join Karl, Birgit and friends as they take a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest, through Germany and Austria. In each episode teacher Andrea and learner Mark discuss Karl's travel diary and look at interesting vocabulary and expressions for intermediate learners of German.

The Coffee Break Academy version of this course includes the following elements:

  1. Audio files: use the audio episodes to improve your listening skills and enjoy a lively lesson with Andrea and Mark as they explain the entire text of Karl's diary entry.
  2. Lesson notes: our lesson notes provide a written version of the texts and further explanations of the words and phrases covered in each episode.
  3. Video Pronunciation Practice: we've taken the recorded version of the text and created a video of the diary entry, leaving pauses after each phrase or sentence to allow you to repeat and improve your pronunciation.

All 10 lessons will be available from April 23rd 2021.
