Coffee Break Italian

Welcome back to Season 2 of Scenes from the Coffee Break Italian Café! Benvenuti alla Stagione 2 di Scenes!

The Coffee Break Italian team is excited to welcome you back to il Caffè di Tullio.

If you joined us in Season 1 then you will already be familiar with il Caffè di Tullio - our charming Italian café, where the aroma of fresh coffee lingers, conversations flow, and life unfolds around every table. In this immersive series, you’ll follow a compelling story set in a local café and build your language skills naturally through storytelling.

In the first chapter of this new season, Un caffè tira sempre su di morale, Lorenzo learns that even on quiet days, his café has its way of lifting spirits.

Nel primo episodio rivedremo Lorenzo, il proprietario del bar. Torneranno alcuni volti familiari come Gianni, Mario ed Anselmo, e scopriremo perché Mario è giù di morale. In seguito, conosceremo anche dei nuovi personaggi, ciascuno con mille storie da raccontare…

Join us to hear all about these new stories. This chapter also introduces useful words and expression such as andirivieni and il solito tran tran.

✨Allora, che aspetti? Non perderti questa nuova stagione di Scenes.
