Hello, everyone. It's Mark of Coffee Break French.

Bienvenu.

Now, I hope that you are enjoying these little espresso episodes with the coffee break team.

And it's my turn today to spend a coffee break with you.

And in this episode, we're not specifically looking at French.

Instead, we're going to be talking about something that's very close to all of our hearts,

and that is language learning. Alon, we're going to be talking about something that's very close to all of our hearts,

and that is language learning. Allo, on you go. Now, I should also say that this episode is going out on our French, Spanish, Italian, and German podcast feeds. So I'll be making references to different languages at different points.

But of course, it will all be relevant.

So whether you're learning French, Spanish, Italian, or German, grab your cup, settle in,

and let's talk about something that combines two of our favorite things, language learning and travel.

Now, imagine this. Perhaps you're planning a trip. Lots of people like to take a trip at this time of year. Perhaps it's a city

break to Paris or a week in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico or a long weekend in Rome or perhaps

an alpine adventure in Austria. You've packed your bags,

you've booked your flights and you've charged your phone. But what if I told you that this trip

could be more than just a getaway? It could be one of the best learning experiences you'll ever

have. Well, today I want to share five tips that will help you turn any trip into your very

own language classroom. Now, these tips are simple, effective, and most importantly, they're

fun. Now, don't worry if travelling isn't an option for you right now, because some of these tips

can also be used in a different way at home, and I'll be telling you a little more about that

later on. For now, tip number one, set a travel intention for your learning. So before you even

leave home, think about perhaps one goal that you would like to focus on during your trip.
