If you are studying a language in school or if you simply enjoy the challenge of learning a language on your own, check out Pronunciator on Marshall Public Library’s website.
This online language-learning system is free for all library patrons. With 80
of the world’s most popular languages and ESL courses in 50 languages, Pronunciator is focused on quickly building conversational skills through a combination of interactive online drills, scored quizzes, and downloadable audio lessons and phrasebooks.
Designed to meet the language-learning needs of our entire community, Pronunciator offers five possible levels of instruction for each language covering vocabulary, verbs, simple sentences, and conversation; one level is designed specifically for tourists and business travelers. Each course also has up to 350 hours of audio lessons which patrons can download to a portable device or burn to a CD. Appropriate for children as well as adults, teachers and parents can feel confident referring students to Pronunciator for supplemental instruction.
“Pronunciator is one of our most popular databases,” said Gaila Butikofer, Reference Department Supervisor. “There are many reasons a person learns a language—for work, travel, school, or just for fun—and Pronunciator truly has something for everyone.”
Stop by the Reference Desk on the second floor for an introduction to Pronunciator, or access the program through the library website at www.marshallpl.org. For more information or assistance, please contact the library’s Reference Department at 232-1263 ext. 106.
