Transparent Language Online


Picture
Transparent Language Online (TLO) is a language
learning resource provided by Mid-Michigan Library League.

Access to Transparent Language Online has changed as of April 5, 2021. See bottom of page for instructions on how to change your account login or to download the mobile app.

  • 110+ languages (and growing!): Whether it's Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, or English, if you want it, we've (probably) got it. See available languages.
  • Customized learning path: Placements tests let learners see recommended courses and lessons for their level, or they choose their own content.
  • Focus on a specific skill: Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are all part of the language puzzle. Learners can pick any skills-based learning activity, select their desired vocabulary, and instantly launch a custom lesson.
  • Learn on the go: At the library, at home, and everywhere in between, access to lessons is possible on almost any device, including full-feature mobile apps for iOS and Android™ tablets and phones.
