We're pleased to offer our patrons access to our newest online resource: Mango Languages!

 

Mango Languages is an online language learning database that allows patrons to create an individual account and track their own progress, with no time limits or due dates, in order to learn a new language. It is completely web-based, which means you can access it from anywhere, at any time. With 22 languages to choose from, you can get yourself ready for a trip (use Mango Basic), or start working towards fluency (using Mango Complete).

 

Here's what Mango has to say: 

 

Mango is an online language learning system that teaches real conversation skills for practical communication. Through fun and engaging interactive lessons, Mango makes learning a new language fast, easy and incredibly effective. The system is completely web-based and remotely accessible, so you can learn anywhere you have an internet connection.

 

As you listen to and repeat after native speakers, you'll learn more than just words and phrases. You’ll learn how those pieces can be rearranged and combined to make new thoughts, new conversations, and even more practical communication! In no time at all, you'll be able to navigate all sorts of everyday situations — get directions, order a meal, make new friends — the possibilities are endless!

 

It's simple to get started -- click on the link and log in using your library card number. Be sure to create a profile with your email address when you log in for the first time -- Mango will keep track of your progress, and you can work at your own pace.

 

Our access to Mango Languages is made possible through a partnership with the Green Mountain Library Consortium.
