Good to know
Who is Coffee Break TV for?
It’s for anyone who has started a language and wants to keep going. Lessons are aimed at upper beginner through to intermediate level, so you’ll already know some of the language and want to use it and build on it.
How does the daily email work?
Each day we send you one recommended lesson, so you never have to decide where to start. You can always browse and pick something else.
How long are the lessons?
Most are 5 to 10 minutes, and some longer series run to 20, so they fit easily into your day.
How is this different from a Coffee Break course?
The courses are a structured path from one level to the next. Coffee Break TV is flexible: dip in and out, follow your mood and keep the habit ticking over.
Can I really keep it up?
Yes. A few minutes a day is much easier to keep up than an hour once a fortnight, and the daily email helps you keep going.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Monthly or yearly, you can cancel whenever you like.
How do I watch?
On the website, the iPhone and Android apps and the Apple TV app, or cast from your phone to your TV. We suggest setting up your account on the website first.
Can I see the lessons first?
Yes. Watch some sample lessons, no card needed.
