CBG 1:19 | Travelling by public transport

Introduction

In this latest episode of Coffee Break German you’ll continue learning to deal with public transport in German. Coffee Break German comes to you from the Radio Lingua Network. In weekly episodes you’ll join native speaker Thomas who’ll be teaching learner Mark in gradual, structured lessons. The episodes also feature Kirsten, our Grammar Guru, and Julia, our Cultural Correspondent.
