Powerspeak Languages…

Are you interested in learning another language?  Give the Powerspeak Languages database a try.  This database provides online language learning in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, ESL Spanish, and ESL Mandarin - through a series of stories, activities and innovative learning tools.  You will need to make an account once you’ve clicked in so that it can remember what you’ve done and let you pick up right where you left off on your last visit.  You will find the database on the library’s Research & Homework page (http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework#P).  If you are logging in from a non-library computer you will need your library card number.  It is a great alternative to CD or tape sets.
