REVIEW

Learning another language is not easy for some of us but is great brain exercise and can actually become particularly useful and fun.

I’ve been studying a foreign language on and off for the last several years.  In addition to weekly in-person classes and working on it in Great Courses (also available through RML and Libby), I started using Transparent Language.

What a wonderful experience it has been! Through RML, there is no cost involved and no time limit to use this program. This at-your-own-pace system teaches and reviews usable words and phrases in multiple ways, enabling the learner to pick up the language by whatever means is most successful for him/her.  For example, it presents both written and audio word recognition with as much repetition as the learner needs/wants and keeps track of the words that (s)he has mastered and those that might need further review.

Notable benefits to using this program are that it is available whenever and wherever I am (on my computer and the mobile app), no one gets frustrated or judgmental by my lack of retention and need to review the same words over and over again, and there's no pressure to complete a lesson in a given time for fear that it will disappear. 

Transparent Language offers many different languages. It is simple to access and tailored to each user, so there’s nothing to lose. Why not try it, it just might expand your world.
