Language Learning

Library Collection

Our physical collection includes language-learning resources such as CD kits and dictionaries in a wide range of languages, primarily in the 400’s of our Non-Fiction Collection.

We also have an Ayajuthem Language Learning kit, created by JehJeh Media which includes ten posters with QR codes to listen to the pronunciation and review the orthography. This kit is ideal for a classroom setting. Place a hold request on this kit from our catalogue here.
