Orange Beach Library adds to language learning collection

Thanks to the 2018 LSTA Grant, the Orange Beach Public Library has recently added an impressive amount of materials to their language learning collections.
For adults, the library has added a considerable amount of materials from Pimsleur. With Pimsleur, you don’t just study a new language, you learn to speak and to communicate in a new language. Pimsleur materials are perfect for the person who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time in front of the computer, or has a need for flexibility because of a hectic or busy schedule. The library offers materials for learning Italian, French, Mandarin, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, etc. with multiple levels of each language available to help continue progress.
Because the learning styles of every person are different, and some languages may not be represented in the collection, the Orange Beach Library also provides patrons access to Rosetta Stone language learning software, which can be found through the library website at www.orangebeachlibrary.org.
For children, the library has added a number of materials from Muzzy BBC, and the Teach Me series of everyday language.
Trusted by parents, teachers and librarians for over 30 years, Muzzy BBC is hoping to start a new generation on their journey to learning new languages. The library now boasts Muzzy materials for learning French, English, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Italian, etc.
In the Teach Me series, the Orange Beach Library has added Everyday German, Italian, Chinese, French, and Spanish, volumes 1 and 2.
Materials can be found in the front of the library, displayed on top of the large print shelf. As always, materials check out for two weeks at a time, and if more time is needed, the staff will happily renew your items, so long as there isn’t a hold on them.
