Language Learnin'

Published by Jenny B on Fri, 10/26/2012 - 9:23am

We are often asked, “Do you have books in other languages?” and the answer is a resounding YES!

Whether you want to learn another language or are a native speaker, the Library has lots of resources. We have two great databases which can help you on your way. Mango many languages available and is best for older students and adults. Muzzy is especially for children and offers eight languages, lots of games and activities, and some cute characters to help you practice. Access these databases here [1]!

Of course, we also have books [2] and videos [3] to help you learn a different language--and books [4] in those languages if you want to practice. I'm learning Spanish, so I checked out this [5]. We have a music CD collection called Lands & Languages which includes fun CDs like this one. [6] We also have books with yummy recipes [7] and crafts [8] from all over the world to help you celebrate your new-found language skills.
