Why pay for language learning apps when your library card is already out here working overtime? 😌

Skip the subscription guilt and learn a new language for FREE with Transparent Language through the library.

Spanish? Japanese? Gaelic? Romanian? We’ve got you.

Meanwhile, your Duolingo owl is outside your window demanding payment.
