Go into i-Tunes store, click on Podcasts, then scroll down till you see in the left hand column Topics in Focus, click on Language learning, then Learn Spanish Survival Guide, then in the Right hand box you will see Coffee Break Spanish.

I've find it, have stored all the episodes now, just got to work out how to burn to disc so I can hopefully listen to them in the car, one of my kids will show me, thanks again for your fab help

They are about 20 mins long and for my OH are absolutely brilliant.
Hey that's the one we are using - how come you have 43 episodes and I only have 32 - you special or something!!!???

you may need to manually download some, not all of them open properly.

You see thats where I have a bit of an issue because I have downloaded all the episodes but there are about a dozen short bits and extras that are added on, not sure where they are supposed to fit in, and I need some bloody order in my life and I am not happy!

Thanks

We just downloaded it direct from their site to our PC. Have to say we think it really good and it seems to sink in (so far any way!)

I think if you look at their website they will tell you where the extra bits slot in. We manually download and haven't paid for the extras etc.

There may be a few more on the i-tunes site then.....not sure, but I have just had a look because I have an Audio book playing as we speak, and it is definitely 43, two were added this morning.

I just gave someone her first ever lesson this morning - she just told me she's been out practicing in the supermarket & a bar

she's dead chuffed cos they understood her!!

I always start with a few useful phrases, along with a couple of verbs, and numbers up to 20 - it's amazing how much confidence it gives them to open their mouths

Hi, have managed to successfully burn all to disc, am quite proud of myself, from what I've listened to so far, it sounds really good, no excuses now not to try again
