You may have noticed that the AU Library recently subscribed to Pronunciator<\/a>, a Rosetta Stone-style language learning service that is now available free for AU students. The service includes a huge range of languages, everything from the popular ones offered in classes (Arabic, Spanish, etc.) to the lesser-learned (like Macedonian or Xhosa). Pronunciator’s two-month courses focus on learning practical language skills for travel, a boon for AU’s typically world-hopping student body. No Esperanto sadly, but you’re not likely to travel somewhere that speaks Esperanto natively.<\/p>\n

The promote this new service, we have a little display in the front lobby of some of the library’s foreign language collections. We curated some of our favorite non-English-language films and televisions hows and added them to the showcase, as shown in the picture above.<\/p>\n

In case you wanted to check any of these out, we included the full list below. If you learn Japanese, getting to watch The Calamari Wrestler<\/i> is your ultimate reward.<\/p>\n
