December is Learn a Foreign Language Month
Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn the language of your grandparents, brush up on a language you learned long ago, or pick up enough phrases to make your way on your international travels…
Whatever your reason, the Lincoln Public Library provides excellent tools for learning:
- Mango Languages online
- Transparent Language online
- Books & eBooks
- CD courses & eAudiobooks, including Pimsleur lessons
Mango Languages offers lessons on over 70 languages, with an informal approach and emphasis on practical conversational fluency. Transparent Language provides thorough and systematic instruction on over 100 languages, with more of an emphasis on grammar, vocabulary and long-term retention.
Both online programs have modules for children, Transparent offers some indigenous languages and Mango has a course in American Sign Language.
All available with your Lincoln Public Library Card!
