Learn a New Language with Mango

With over 70 languages to choose from, learning another language has never been easier with Mango, opens a new window. No, not the tropical fruit, but the online language learning system! Mango teaches conversation skills, vocabulary, grammar, and culture.

It combines advanced technology with their proven language learning methodology, Intuitive Language Construction. Expert linguists and native speakers craft each course using real-life situations that will get you speaking the language quickly. Each course is designed to be culturally accurate and conversationally relevant. 

Here are a few of my favorite features that help make learning a new language a breeze:

• A voice comparison system so that you can hear how your pronunciation matches with a native speaker.
• Vocabulary flash cards that cover the vocabulary used in each lesson. They also allow you to add your own vocabulary flash cards to expand your vocabulary even more.
• In addition to listening activities, they have reading activities to help build your reading skills and comprehension. They are also introducing a chrome extension called Mango Reader. It’s still in the beta stage, but it allows you to translate any website into another language to further your reading skills.
• For those who are more visual learners they also offer Mango Movies. These movies are engaging and culturally authentic to the language you’re trying to learn.
• There’s a Mango App for both Apple, opens a new window and Android, opens a new window. You can download lessons to access on the go when you may not have internet access.
