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.

​

Pimsleur Spanish - The old tried and true method. The online service is not available to libraries but you can check out the complete e-audiobooks of Spanish Levels 1 and 2 on Libby. (You will only see it if you log in with your library card.) The other languages may be available on CD. You can check here.
