Learn Japanese with teacher Chie and her student Mark. Each lesson is like going for a coffee with your friend who happens to speak Japanese and is helping you learn in a relaxed, enjoyable way.
Coffee Break Japanese is not a simple series of "listen and repeat" audio programmes: in each lesson Chie explains how the language works, helping Mark - and you - to manipulate the language and use it in practical situations. As a learner, Mark asks questions, and makes mistakes, so through Chie's explanations, corrections and pronunciation tips you'll build your confidence and begin to understand and speak the language.
In the same time it takes you to sit down and enjoy a coffee in your favourite coffee shop, you can make progress with your Japanese. Our 20 minute lessons are perfect to keep you focused and let you develop your confidence in regular sessions.

Throughout this 40-lesson series, teacher Chie guides learner Mark from the very beginning of his Japanese-learning journey and equips him (and you as the listener!) with the skills required to communicate in Japanese. We'll learn to communicate confidently with native speakers through a range of topics associated with common travel situations such as introducing ourselves, ordering food and drink, checking into a hotel, and asking for directions.
