Introducing: Mango Languages

Looking to learn a new language or learn phrases for an upcoming trip?

The Ohio County Public Library is launching Mango Languages, an interactive online resource providing audio tutorials to practice reading, listening and speaking in over 70 different languages.

It also has ESL courses for Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese speakers.

Mango learns how you learn, and adapts accordingly.

• Lessons involve a rich mix of listening and reading activities, so you can make sense of written and spoken contexts.
• A simplified learning environment presents content structure, review progress, and learning activities front and center, while streamlined navigation encourages you to explore different topics in your target language.
• Intelligent algorithms are active behind the scenes, and provide you with a personalized review experience that adapts to your progress and learning behaviors.
• Critical-thinking activities encourage you to put what you’re learning into practice. Apply new vocabulary to learned material, so you’ll commit content to memory for effortless recall when you begin putting your skills to practice.
• Memorization exercises use repetition to challenge your recall of learned material through quick review sequences to ensure you maintain what you learn.
  Every lesson explains the underlying grammatical structure, giving you the tools you need to start speaking confidently.
• Insightful cultural notes apply cultural context to what you’re learning, creating a more profound understanding of your chosen language.
• Record your speech and compare it with the target language audio to hone your pronunciation to a level that would impress the locals.
