Well done!

All of the correct answers are languages which are represented by learning resources in the Language Learning Centre’s Self-access Library. If you are interested in learning any of these (or any of the other 70 languages and dialects for which we offer independent study resources) please come and visit us on Level 0 of the von Zedlitz building. You can find a list of the languages and dialects we offer here.
