Gwinnett County Public LibraryLanguage Learning
At Gwinnett County Public Library, we are committed to meeting the needs of our diverse community.
Those who speak another language and want to learn English, and English speakers who want to learn another language
From gwinnettlibrary.com/language-learning ↗About this program
One way we meet this need is by offering Language Programs. Whether you speak another language and want to learn English or speak English and want to learn a different language, we have a program for you. If you're more interested in self-paced at-home learning, we also have a plethora of digital resources and other aids to guide and assist you in your studies.
We currently offer two programs, "Basic English" and "Conversations in English," for those who speak another language and wish to learn or practice English. We also offer "Conversations in Different Languages," a program for those who speak English and wish to learn another language.
Basic English is intended for beginners and those with little English fluency. In these sessions, a facilitator will provide you with English practice materials and will assist you in your native language should you have any questions or difficulties understanding concepts. Conversations in English is intended to serve intermediate to advanced English language learners. We provide materials to help learners advance in their understanding of the English language and facilitate conversations for learners to practice their English and gain exposure to new vocabulary.
Conversations in Languages programs are intended to expose native English speakers to a world language and to help them gain proficiency in those languages with the assistance of a knowledgeable library staff member.
