Justin Thakar's mother was pleased when she was told her 15-year-old son has a good accent when he speaks Japanese. "He is doing well with Japanese. It's not the easiest language to learn," said Mary Beth Thakar of Mt. Lebanon, who home-schools her son.
Justin works hard on his Japanese, but his mother credits his progress to online language instruction the Mt. Lebanon public library offers its patrons. The library provides "Rosetta Stone," a language study program that she downloaded onto an MP3 player to help guide her son through the difficulties of Japanese and Spanish. The library offers similar programs in other languages, including English as a second language.
