All the usual lessons carry on exactly as they are. What's new is that regular live sessions are being added this month, beginning with a translation challenge in each language. Mark presents, you post your answers in the chat, and there will be feedback while the session is running.

Lower intermediateIf you've never joined a live broadcast before, here's the short version.
This isn't a Zoom call. Your camera and microphone stay off. You open Coffee Break TV at the time, the session plays like any other video, and you watch and join in from wherever you are.
The chat runs alongside the video. Post your translations, ask anything that comes up, and Mark responds as the session goes. It's interactive from the first minute.
Registration isn't compulsory but it's a good idea. Click “I'll be there” on the session page and you're set up before the broadcast starts. Can't make the time? The replay will be on Coffee Break TV afterwards, though you'll need to be there live to join in on the chat.
These live lessons are included in your trial. Register for the one in your language and come along. It's the best way to see what Coffee Break TV feels like when it's live.
Live sessions are becoming a regular part of Coffee Break TV. The next broadcasts will feature some of the Coffee Break tutors too, so keep an eye on the Live Lessons section on the site and in the app.
