BBC Active Languages
BBC Active Languages makes learning a
new language accessible and enjoyable,
whatever you’re looking for: from phrase
books and audio to help you get by on your
holidays, and short courses to build up your
vocabulary and confidence, to more in-depth
courses to enable you to become fully fluent.
We base our books and courses around
recordings of authentic dialogues, teaching
you to speak your chosen language in the
way it is actually spoken. In order to give
you a greater insight into the language and
people, we frequently include information
about local customs and culture too.
Uniquely, the BBC broadcasts television
programmes that tie in to many of our
courses on a regular basis, which you can
record and re-use at your convenience.
This catalogue will provide you with all
the information you need to help you
decide which BBC Active Languages
course is the right one for you. If you
have any enquiries regarding our courses,
please email us at bbcactive.languages.
