Your library is pleased to announce that it now offers Pronunciator!
This online language-learning system is free for all library patrons. With 60 of the world's most popular languages and ESL courses in 50 languages, the Pronunciator is focused on quickly building conversational skills through a combination of interactive online drills, scored quizzes, and downloadable audio lessons and phrasebooks.
Pronunciator offers five possible levels of instruction for each language. The lessons cover vocabulary, verbs, simple sentences, and conversation. One level, specifically for tourists and business travelers, teaches 1,500 essential phrases that cover everyday situations. Each course also has up to 350 hours of audio lessons which patrons can download to a portable device or burn to CD. Appropriate for children as well as adults, Pronunciator is designed to meet the language-learning needs of our entire community.
"We are delighted to add Pronunciator to the premium resources we offer our patrons," said Gaila Butikofer, Reference Department Supervisor. "There are many reasons a person learns a language -- for work, travel, school, or simply personal enrichment -- and Pronunciator has something for everyone."
Stop by Pocatello’s Marshall Public Library for an introduction to Pronunciator or access the program via the library website at www.marshallpl.org. For more information, contact the library’s Reference Department at 232-1263 ext. 21.
