Language learning company Coffee Break Languages is entering the print market for the first time in a partnership with John Murray’s language learning course provider and publisher Teach Yourself.
Coffee Break Languages’ podcasts and online courses are downloaded more than two million times per month and offered in seven different languages, according to the organisation.
Four new titles will mark the brand’s expansion into the print market: 50 French Coffee Breaks, 50 German Coffee Breaks, 50 Italian Coffee Breaks and 50 Spanish Coffee Breaks. They will be published simultaneously on 9th June 2022.
The books, all written by experienced language teachers, include 50 activities learners can do in five, 10 or 15 minutes, “so that you can easily turn your down time into ‘do time’".
Sarah Cole, publishing director for Teach Yourself Languages, said: “I have been a long-time fan of Coffee Break Languages’ resources, all created by expert linguists who approach language learning in a unique way: make it enjoyable, make it achievable, and make it a habit. As we all know, good habits are what ultimately lead to success.
“These books provide a reliable resource for short, fun practice of all the key skills, and can be used alongside other books, apps, classroom learning, or on their own to improve your level. We are excited to get the Coffee Break method into the hands of people around the world and look forward to adding additional languages to the series so more people can learn a language, one cup at a time.”
Mark Pentleton, c.e.o and founder of Coffee Break Languages added that in the 50 Coffee Breaks books, learners will be able to practice their language skills through a range of activities which have been designed to help build new knowledge and consolidate what learners already know.
“From expanding vocabulary through the Word Builder activities, to building knowledge of how the language works in mini grammar challenges and developing cultural awareness in reading focus activities, language learners can improve their language skills, all in the time it takes to enjoy a coffee,” he said.
