One Minute Catalan

Hello! My name is Anna and I'd like to welcome you to One Minute Catalan from the Radio Lingua Network. In this podcast I'm going to be teaching you the basics of Catalan. The great thing about this language course is that you'll be learning all you need to know in just 60 seconds - or thereabouts! Each one minute language lesson will equip you with just enough Catalan to help you get by in lots of situations, either on holiday, or on a business trip to a Catalan-speaking area, or just to impress your Catalan-speaking friends or colleagues. Our course will be starting very soon. In the meantime, visit our website on http://www.oneminutelanguages.com

Happy European Day of Languages to all our listeners! By way of joining in this international celebration of languages and language-learning we're delighted to introduce eight new podcasts today. We're adding Catalan, Danish, French, Japanese, Mandarin and Romanian to our One Minute Languages series; we're introducing our first podcast for English learners - Write Back Soon will help learners master Phrasal Verbs; and we're finally announcing the long-awaited sequel to Coffee Break Spanish: it's Show Time!

This flyer provides details on publication dates for each of the new One Minute Language courses released between September and December 2008.

From the makers of the award-winning online language course Coffee Break Spanish comes a new range of titles aimed at busy people who want to acquire the absolute basics of a language. One Minute Languages from the Radio Lingua Network will introduce learners to a new language from scratch. The course is made up of ten lessons and covers topics including basic greetings, introducing yourself, and dealing with language problems. You'll also learn numbers and other useful words and phrases which will help you communicate with native speakers in many situations. Being able to speak another language is not necessarily about being fluent: often just a few words and phrases can go a long way, and it's amazing what you can achieve in just a few minutes! With One Minute Languages you'll quickly learn the phrases you need to get to know people, to make travel easier or to communicate with your business colleagues. It's all about making that good impression and showing that you're willing to take that step. The clock is ticking, so let's get learning!
