Welcome to the Language Resource Center

The Language Resource Center is a multimedia computer facility supporting many of the more than 70 ancient and modern languages taught in various departments in Harvard's Faculty of Arts & Sciences. Students work interactively with computer and web-based materials which allow them to experience foreign language acquisition as a living, vital process.

RosettaStone® Trial Renewed for 2008-09
Access begins in September
In response to an increasing number of requests, the LRC began in September 2007 a pilot project with Rosetta Stone. Under the terms of our license, we can make self-guided, online materials available in some 30 languages at the beginning and intermediate levels. The new license for 2008-09 upgrades the version of the software while reducing the number of languages offered and restricting access to FAS students only.
