We all need something to look forward to once the festive season has finished. Whether it be a Spring Break or a Summer Holiday, now is the time we all start planning.

Transparent Language Online, from your local library website, offers you hundreds of different languages to choose from. Wherever you are planning to visit, you can learn the basics and more to help ensure your stay is an enjoyable one. Being able to speak a few words in the host country’s language always endears you to the locals – thank you, 2 beers please, where is the train station – so why not visit your library to discover this fantastic free service for yourself.
