platoImageWe have always liked the Open Culture web site, which is probably the very best of free learning and education media resources on the internet.

We are particularly keen to embed translation into the web sites we build at Thirdsectorweb for clients, for example. So having a language learning resource that is free and readily available on the internet is a great thing…we think.

The Open Culture learn a language pages are here. However, they include much more than just the language per se. You can also dip into cultural aspects of your target language, the majority available on iTunes or as direct downloads from the relevant web site.

What better way to bridge a cultural and geographic gap, than to learn some key phrases in another language? Find our more here.

Just a single click away and just as importantly, freely available in the same formats, are over 400 courses from major learning institutions.

Whether your interest is law, the classics, history, journalism or philosophy – there is a wealth of knowledge and research experience freely available to you here.

Explore your mind…in the company of others, at no cost.

What the internet was really built for…probably.
