Your library card gives you access to more than just books. In addition to being able to borrow digital books from eLibrary NJ and movies and television shows from Hoopla and Kanopy, cardholders also have access to Pronunciator, a free language-learning application.

Pronunciator offers lessons in over 160 languages—including American Sign Language—so you can increase your fluency in almost any dialect. Pronunicator will walk you step by step to teach you common vocabulary words and proper verb conjugation using a combination of visual aids and repetition.

Pronunciator’s learning process includes:

• Daily Lessons and Quizzes
  • Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, Pronunciator will teach you based on your knowledge level.
• Personalized Courses
  • You can personalize a lesson based on your interests or occupation to help communicate with a purpose.
• Word on the Street
  • Pronunciator will teach you terms and phrases based on objects and imagery found in regular, everyday photos.

Pronunciator also teaches different variations of English. All you have to do is select your native tongue, tell Pronunciator you want to learn American English, British English, or Australian English, and the program will guide you through the daily lessons.

You can access Pronunciator from the Databases area of EdisonPublicLibrary.org. Simply create your account, select the language you want to learn, and learning a new language!
