Radio Lingua celebrates 3 years of language-learning
On 18th October 2006, episode one of a new language-learning podcast called Coffee Break Spanish was released to the world. This show was a bit different from the other Spanish learning shows out there: it was a gradual introduction to basic Spanish presented by teacher Mark, teaching student Kara. At this stage no-one really knew if the idea would work, but Coffee Break Spanish grew to become one of the most popular ways to learn Spanish online. The show quickly climbed the charts on iTunes UK and US, and began to feature in the top podcasts at Podcast Alley and on Libsyn.
Three years down the line and the Radio Lingua Network now produces twenty-seven language courses in eighteen languages and this week saw the sixty millionth download of our language lessons! That means \u2013 on average \u2013 around 55,000 downloads per day, every day for the last three years.

Announcing a new development
We\u2019ve been reading your comments regarding discussion boards and building a community around our lessons. Our previous discussion boards were created before we developed our membership system, so were unfortunately not linked to the system. Today we\u2019re launching our new Community area where listeners can interact with each other, share their language-learning experiences and benefit from collaborative learning with fellow listeners. Accessing the Community is free, but you\u2019ll need to sign up for an account in our system, so we\u2019ll hopefully avoid the spam problems we\u2019ve had in the past.
If you\u2019re already a member of our system then you\u2019ll be able to access My Courses in the community, where we\u2019ll lead activities and generate discussions in which you can practise what you\u2019ve learned in each lesson. My Courses is restricted to our premium members, so if you\u2019ve purchased a Season Pass to Coffee Break French Level 2, you\u2019ll see this course in My Courses, allowing you to interact with your fellow learners in the activities and discussions there. And if you\u2019re not yet a premium member, you can join this week at a hugely discounted price! We\u2019re looking forward to interacting with all our...
