Introducing La penúltima voluntad
Join Marta on a journey of discovery - and learn advanced Spanish!
Get hooked on the story ...
Marta receives a phone call out of the blue from a lawyer inviting her to attend the reading of her father's will. But no one had even told her that her father had passed away! On her arrival, she is shocked by what she sees in her father's office and she embarks on a journey that will change her and her family's life. Over 20 chapters, you'll follow Marta on her journey of discovery and join her as she encounters revelation after revelation.
... and master advanced Spanish
La penúltima voluntad is a course for advanced learners, brought to you by the Coffee Break Spanish team. In each of the 20 chapters you will build your vocabulary at an advanced level, develop your understanding of complex grammar and put your comprehension skills to the test. The course features both narrative chapters, presented by tutor Anabel, and dialogue chapters, in which you'll hear various voices taking on the roles of the different characters in the story. By the end of the story you'll be confidently understanding a variety of accents and voices.
Meet the team
The lessons of La penúltima voluntad are presented by Anabel, Mark and Ava.
Anabel
In addition to writing La penúltima voluntad, native Spanish speaker Anabel is our main presenter in the audio and video lessons of the course. In each lesson Anabel shares her vast knowledge of the Spanish language and teaches you fascinating vocabulary and expressions.
Mark
Coffee Break Founder Mark joins Anabel for the language study episodes of the course, bringing his knowledge as a teacher of Spanish to the recordings. In each episode, Mark and Anabel discuss the language used in detail, and explain the complex grammatical constructions.
Ava
Our resident Spanish learner Ava joins Anabel in the taller lingüístico episodes. In these recordings, Ava is challenged to put into practice the language learned in each chapter of the course. As a learner, Ava will have very similar questions to your own, so as she asks Anabel about the language used, you'll build your knowledge too.

Praise for La penúltima voluntad
