History
History
Living Language was originally developed in 1946 by foreign language education experts to teach overseas-bound service personnel and diplomats. The Living Language imprint expanded its publishing program to include audio-only CD courses, online-based courses and comprehensive language learning kits for adults and children. As of 2025, the imprint appears to no longer be publishing new material and its original website now redirects to an English learning website.
