Coffee Break Languages

We're celebrating the Coffee Break Books 📚☕

On Tuesday 16 June we'll be at Waterstones on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow for a happy moment in the 50 Coffee Breaks series: the launch of two brand new books, 50 Gaelic Coffee Breaks and 50 Chinese Coffee Breaks.

It's a relaxed evening, 7pm to 8.30pm. You'll hear from Boyd Robertson and Licheng Gu, who wrote the activities for the Gaelic and Chinese books, and from Mark, who started Coffee Break Languages. Mostly it's a chance to get together, celebrate two languages that mean a lot to Glasgow and Scotland, and use a little of whatever you're learning alongside the Coffee Break team.

Whether you've been with us for years or you're just curious, we'd love to see you there.

Mark recently visited the Fête du Citron in Menton, one of his favourite places in the world. Enormous sculptures made entirely from citrus fruit, streets full of colour, and the smell of lemon zest everywhere.

It also got him thinking about language learning. You don't need thousands of words to say something meaningful. Sometimes you just need to get more creative with the ones you already have. A bit like what they do with lemons in Menton 🍋
