Georgetown Languages at Georgetown University Press is a collaboration of language experts and publishing professionals to produce high quality language learning resource materials in traditional and new learning media. Working with the academic community to develop foreign language learning materials grounded in superior scholarship and experienced pedagogy, we publish in critical as well as commonly taught languages in print and electronic formats, primarily for college, high school, and adult learners.
Georgetown University is an international institution founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and values promotes understanding. Because languages are the building blocks of understanding, Georgetown Languages helps make intercultural dialogue possible.
