L2 Press publishes unique dual-language books and audio for learning foreign languages as efficiently as possible.

L2 Press is a US-based publisher of foreign language learning books and audio. All books use a combined interlinear + parallel text layout for maximum comprehension of every word, phrase, and sentence. Professionally-recorded audio is available for every book. All books are available for purchase on Amazon, and all audio is available in the L2 Press store.

Read and understand everything.

Interlinear combined with Parallel Text is the most efficient way to read in a foreign language. Interlinear translation helps you understand the meaning and pronunciation of individual words and phrases within a sentence. Parallel translation helps you understand the sentence as a whole. Combined they give you everything you need to understand a new foreign language.

The most comprehensive interlinear gloss.

Most publishers utilize only a two-line interlinear gloss comprising the target language and a translation. L2 Press uses a three-line interlinear gloss consisting of the target language, a translation, and a pronunciation guide (in the form of either romanization or International Phonetic Alphabet, depending on the target language). Interlinear containing both a translation and a pronunciation guide is a powerful tool that leads to rapid foreign language acquisition.

Native voice actors.

All audio is recorded by native voice actors. Native audio is critically important for developing your listening abilities and a good accent.

Over 5000 sentences for massive exposure to your target language.

Three books for each language will give you massive exposure to over 5000 sentences, all of which are comprehensible due to the combined interlinear + parallel text format.

Short Stories: more than 3500 sentences spread across 13 amusing short stories of increasing length.

Grammar By Example: more than 500 sentences carefully arranged by grammar topic.

1000 Sentences: exactly 1000 sentences using a wide range of vocabulary.

Perfect for any stage of your language learning journey.
