RESIDENTS wanting to improve their language skills can now take advantage of a new service being offered through Trafford's libraries.

The free Transparent Language Online allows people to practice in any of one hundred languages, ranging from Albanian to Welsh.

It provides the chance to practice listening, reading, speaking and writing on a PC or remote device in the library or at home.

In addition it also features English for non-English speakers of over twenty languages.

To register and start learning all customers need is their library card number.

Details can be found via the Trafford Libraries webpage and the e-library section www.trafford.gov.uk/libraries
