New to the language learning journey? Start here:

Dual language books

Dual language books (also called bilingual books) can help you on your language learning journey by including two languages in one book, often side-by-side. They are a useful tool for language learners who already have knowledge of one language when learning a new language. They support learning new words, seeing them in sentences, and comparing them to their other language in the book. The dual language books at the library are English paired with another language.

Language learning series

These series come in book and/or CD formats and include many languages in each.
