Children Can Learn a New Language at the Library!

The best time to start learning a new language is as early as possible! Now kids ages 6 & up can at the library!

We offer language learning for elementary-to-adult level learners in Transparent Language Online. We’re happy to announce that now includes KidSpeak™, a fun, age-appropriate online language course designed for ages 6 and up!

What Languages Can Students Learn?

All you need is a library card to introduce your children to English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Mandarin Chinese. The program teaches words and phrases suitable for learners’ age, needs, and interests. More than 40 activities, puzzles, and songs guide young learners through the basics, along with a cartoon buddy who speaks the language.

How does it work?

Using an immersive teaching style preferred for young children, KidSpeak™ introduces the alphabet and word recognition, simple sentences, how to use plural and singular, how to distinguish between words that look and sound similar, simple addition and subtraction, how to tell time, number recognition (matching numbers to written words), and correct pronunciation.

Best of all, your child can learn from anywhere with a library card. KidSpeak™ works on computers, tablets, and phones so your little ones can learn on the go, at home, or in the library.
