DATABASE OF THE MONTH Learn a new language in 2011
Mango is an online language learning system teaching practical conversation skills for real communication. It’s the fast, easy and effective way to learn to speak a foreign language! All you need is an Internet connection and your library card number.
What makes Mango great? Mango teaches actual conversation language skills. Mango uses real-life situations and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. By listening to, repeating after, and engaging in conversation with other native speakers, our users not only learn individual words and phrases, they learn how to use them in practical situations and conversations. Mango is easy and convenient to use. Mango is based on an easy-to-follow interface and simple, clear instructions. Because it’s completely webbased, users can learn anywhere they have an internet connection — at the library, a coffee shop, or even home in bed. Our system offers a variety of formats and tools to help them learn in the way best suited to their needs. Choose from a variety of tools and formats, including Mango Complete or Mango Basic! Mango delivers extraordinary results. Because Mango is so effective and easy to use, our users are able to have a basic conversation in a foreign language after just one lesson! Our interactive approach is engaging, not to mention fun. Users see progress with every session and are encouraged to keep talking. 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! Find Mango on your library’s website Go to yourlibrary.us. Look for the Mango button on the home page or go to Research Resources then Magazine & Reference Databases and click on Mango Languages.
