Transparent Language Now Available at JCPL!

As part of our mission to inform, enrich, and empower our diverse community, we are always on the lookout for useful formats to add to our collection for your use.

One of the newest formats we have added is Transparent Language, an interactive language instruction program that focuses on vocabulary and on using words and phrases in an immersive, whole-language learning experience.

Transparent Language, which comes in a flash drive, combines visual and audio elements as tools for learning. Virtual flashcards provide a means for learning by seeing and hearing words. Some of the software even includes videos to enhance learning. Transparent Language is the next generation of language learning media and has become quite popular with JCPL patrons.

If your “bucket list” includes learning a language, give Transparent Language a try!
