Events › Learning a Language in 2026

Are you trying to learn a new language in 2026? 

There are many reasons to learn a new language. You might be interested in media such as anime, K-pop or Bollywood; you might have family members overseas who speak a different language than you; or maybe you want to learn one of the more than 25 different languages spoken in Dayton.

Learning a new language can seem overwhelming, but regardless of which language you want to learn, the library probably has resources to help you. Come to this informative session to learn how to make a plan to learn a new language and how to navigate library resources to guide you through your plan.

We will learn how to make the most resources like Mango Languages, LinkedIn Learning, Libby, and books the library has in its physical collection, as well as some of your librarian's favorite trusted resources.
