I LOVE COFFEE BREAK SPANISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap. Like, I can't even tell you.

I love Coffee Break Spanish, courtesy of the Radio Lingua Network, almost more than I can express.

Free online Spanish classes taught by the friendly teacher-student duo of Mark and Cara.

The best part? That the lessons are free, enjoyable and available easily online. This is not a paid endorsement, by the way. I just like them a lot.

But the "best part" that I want to freak out about? They're TOTALLY SCOTTISH!!! It's great. There is this totally thick Scottish brogue overtop of the lessons whenever they're speaking English. It's just unexpected enough to help keep me cheerful when I might otherwise wander off in an ADHD sort of way.

When I'm by myself and I have difficulty repeating a word in Spanish, sometimes I'll make myself feel better by trying to just repeat one of the Scottish-accented words instead. It's helped me get used to rolling my Rs, too. The Scottish rolled Rs are kind of like training wheels.

I very much <3 this program. I've even gotten my father into it.
