Introducing the Coffee Break Italian Reading Club
One of the most effective ways to build your vocabulary in a language is to use short, interesting articles on a regular basis. The Coffee Break Italian Reading Club will provide you with a weekly text in Italian. The texts will gradually increase in difficulty over the course of the next 12 months, and you'll develop a wide range of vocabulary and experience Italian in a range of different contexts. You'll also build your knowledge of the cultures of Italian-speaking areas.
In addition to the text itself, you'll also get access to an audio version read by a native speaker. We've included "normal speed" and slower versions of the text to help you with your understanding, and there are vocabulary lists and exercises for each of the texts too.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts whenever you are ready. You can sign up at any time and you'll receive the weekly texts starting with text 1 today. The texts will continue for 52 weeks and each text will become available to you on a weekly basis from the day you sign up.
How long do I have access to the course?
Even after you've completed the 52 week course you'll still have access to the texts and the additional audio materials. You'll be able to review the materials and refresh your vocabulary long after the 52 week programme has ended.
What's the difference between this course and the free Reading Club?
The free Reading Club is simply a weekly text by email. The texts are the same, but with the premium course you get access to the vocabulary, the exercises and the audio version. Please note that if you've already started the free Reading Club email programme, you will need to start again from text number 1 if you sign up for this premium course at a later date.
