Mid-Columbia Libraries Offers Free, Easy Language Learning for Customers

Mid-Columbia Libraries (MLC) invites community members to take the next step in life with digital resources from their library.

MCL offers library customers access to Pronunciator, a fun and free way to learn any of more than 80 languages, from Spanish or French to Uzbek or Swahili, with self-directed lessons, live teachers, movies, music, and more. Customers can learn online, or get the app for learning on mobile devices! The service is free with a Mid-Columbia Libraries library card.

Pronunciator features access to more than 80 languages; thousands of language courses for all ages and skill levels; travel prep courses; ESL courses for 51 languages; and more. Registering allows users to track their progress across different devices.

Furthermore, library customers preparing for U.S. citizenship can study for the civics, reading, and writing portions of the naturalization test with Procitizen. Also available on computer or mobile device, this free service offers users informative videos, practice exercises, and quizzes.

Both services are also available in Spanish. More information is available at midcolumbialibraries.org/pronunciator.
