Language Learning

Online Language Learning

Duolingo is great, but you might be getting tired of the green owl. Here are some other options:

Language Transfer - Use the rules of English to help you become conversational in a new language.

Open Culture - Pick the language you want to learn and find free programs and open online classes.

ESL classes are full.

We need ESL Tutors for 2025-2026 classes.

Training takes place online at your own pace.
We supply ESL learning materials such as Easy English News and News for You.
Classes begin in September/October and run through June.
You set your own class schedule. Classes typically meet 1 time per week for 1 hour.

Adults who are interested in becoming ESL tutors should contact ESL Coordinator, Rafat Ispahany, at marcia.literati@tenafly.bccls.org or 201-568-8680.
