Learn a New Language

Do you remember taking languages in high school? Some of us did great with the textbook/classroom method. Others did not do so well. Now, using the power of the internet there is a new way. Rosetta Stone almost tricks you into learning a language quickly and easily. Want to try it out? Well, normally the software would be about $200 per level. However, thanks to our incredible LA Public Library you can use Rosetta Stone for free. What is the catch? All you need is a library card.

To begin, visit www.lapl.org, click on “Adult Literacy”, then click “Enter”, and then click on “Learn Online.” Here you will find the Rosetta Stone online program. After you complete the short registration, you will be ready to begin learning German, Spanish, Farsi, Greek, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, English, Pashto and other languages.

On this web page you will also find other resources, such as practice exams that are focused in improving your job skills, Plato, a self-paced learning program to improve in math, reading, writing, and social studies skills, amongst many more learning links. Explore the free online resources available through www.lapl.org. Please also consider supporting the library (www.lfla.org/index.php).
