  Sign up for Course

While it's not so easy to travel right now, why not do some virtual travelling with us, and practise your Italian as you go. In the second season of the Coffee Break Italian Travel Diaries you can join Simone and his wife Anna as they enjoy una settimana bianca - "a white week of winter activities" in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. In each lesson, teachers Francesca and Mark discuss Simone's travel diary and look at interesting vocabulary and expressions for intermediate learners of Italian.

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 Francesca and Mark as they explain the entire text of Simone'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.

While the podcast version of this course is being published weekly from 12th February 2021, by purchasing the course you'll get access to all ten lessons immediately.
