Have you ever wanted to learn how to talk like a pirate?
Maybe you’ve dreamed of confidently shouting “Ahoy!” across the seven seas, or perhaps you simply want to impress your friends with a perfectly timed “Shiver me timbers!”
Whatever your reason, the library has a resource for that!
Set Sail with Mango Languages
Mango, opens a new window is a language-learning system available through the library that helps you learn conversation skills, vocabulary, grammar, and culture through interactive lessons.
And while Mango can help you learn practical languages for travel, work, school, or everyday conversation, it can also help you add a little adventure to your day!
Mango includes a Pirate language course designed to teach you the vocabulary and phrases you need to speak like a proper member of the crew.
Why Learn Pirate?
Okay, technically, Pirate isn't a language you're going to need for your next trip abroad.
But that's part of the fun!
Mango's Pirate course is a great example of how language learning doesn't have to feel like memorizing vocabulary lists or studying from a textbook. You can explore languages and cultures because you're curious, because it's fun, or simply because you want to learn something new.
Along the way, you'll still encounter the same kinds of skills that make Mango useful for learning other languages: listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structure, and conversation.
From “Arrr!” to “Bonjour!”
Once you've mastered the art of Pirate, why stop there?
Mango offers courses in a wide variety of languages, giving you the opportunity to explore everything from Spanish, French, and Japanese to American Sign Language, and more. You can learn at your own pace, practice whenever you have a few minutes, and build your skills lesson by lesson.
You don't need a ship, a compass, or a chest full of gold to start learning. All you need is your library card!
Mango is available through the library as a free resource for library users. So, whether you're preparing for an international adventure or an adventure on the high seas, you can start learning from wherever you are.
