Online Language Learning Materials

The Video Library evaluated online language learning materials and websites students and faculty can use on their own devices to explore and learn a language. These websites are not supported by OIT, so the Helpdesk could not offer any help if you have issues, but we found their interfaces easy to use and useful in the pursuit of learning a new language.
