Mango, It's Not Just a Fruit

February 10, 2012

Have you ever been interested in learning other languages? Are you planning to travel to other countries? Want to host a foreign exchange student? Learning even the basics can be hard, but there is now an easier way to learn languages, more convenient than returning to the classroom.

Mango. No, it’s not just a fruit. It is one of MCPL's many databases. You can choose from 35 different languages. It has colorful pictures, helpful pronunciations, and flashcards that make learning a language easy.

Mango offers Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Dutch, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Indonesian, Japanese, Pashto, Russian, Spanish, Urdu, and more!
Every language listed has a basic level. Many also have the option of Complete 1.0 or Complete 2.0 courses if you want to continue to improve your knowledge.

Mango also offers ESL courses for Arabic, Cantonese Chinese, French, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and more!

It’s still the beginning of 2012, and it’s always a great time to try something new. Why not take 5 or 10 minutes to do a language lesson each day?
