Living Language

Living Language was a foreign-language self-study publishing imprint originally associated with Random House, LLC. It produced popular language courses and reference materials in languages such as French, German, Italian, Persian, and Arabic. As of 2025, the imprint appears to have stopped publishing new material, and its former website now redirects to an English-learning site.
