Mango Languages
Get your community talking with online language
learning.
Mango Languages is a leading provider of library
language learning solutions. A true library partner, Mango Languages helps make
the library a hub for language and culture in a local community. Designed with today’s fast-paced technological
capabilities in mind, the Mango Languages database offers a variety of formats
and multiple learning levels making it easy for users to learn
conveniently and easily. The core system is completely web-based and remotely
accessible, so patrons can access it anywhere they can get online (they’ll just
need their library card number to register the first time they access the
database).
Mango Languages Library Edition includes more than 40 popular languages as
well as many English as a second language (ESL) courses taught in the patron’s
native tongue. It is recognized as a
leading provider of self-study language learning services to
libraries, government agencies, corporations and the general public. Designed by a team of linguists, teachers,
software developers, human interface specialists, writers, voice talents and
designers, the company's award-winning language learning system has drawn
acclaim from prominent national and international reference groups, educational
resources and travel guides.
Some unique features of the Mango Languages database include the ability
for users to create their own profile to track their language-learning
progress. Mango Languages also offers a
voice comparison feature that can be used with a microphone. Voice comparison
helps users improve their speaking skills and pronunciation by recording their
voice and playing it back to check their
pronunciation against Mango’s. Another
useful feature is the Mango Translation Tool that translates words from one
language to another. This Translation Tool
is powered by Google Translation and is a great tool for anyone who needs a
quick and direct translation of a foreign language.
With Mango Mobile patrons can steal a bit of additional language
practice time right from their mobile devices (iPhone® and
Android™). They can download the free app “Mango
Languages” in The App Store or Google Play—and start learning.
