Overview


Mango Languages is an annual subscription database that offers in-house and remote access to over 40 foreign language courses, in addition to 16 English courses taught in the user’s native language (see full course list below). Mango Languages loves libraries, and libraries love Mango. Yes, we're a language-learning company. But more importantly, we’re your library's partner. As the library market leader with a renewal rate of over 90%, we understand your challenges and listen closely to your feedback. Check out this short video of the course in action.

Every Mango course, chapter, and lesson incorporates our Intuitive Language Construction methodology, designed to simulate the way people learn a foreign language when actually immersed in everyday, practical conversation. Each lesson incorporates four key learning components:
  • Vocabulary
    Mango focuses on words and phrases that will be the most valuable in common, real-life situations for each specific language and culture. Vocabulary words are taught through conversation, rather than just a list, to help users understand context and make the most of their time.
  • Pronunciation
    Mango’s course audio is recorded by professional native-speaking voice talents, giving users the best possible baseline on which to model their own pronunciation. The course also provides two speeds for everything it teaches: a normal, conversational speed and a slower speed, in which every syllable is clearly enunciated. Our voice comparison feature allows students to compare their pronunciation to the narrator’s, using a visual representation to note the differences.
  • Grammar
    Grammar instruction is at the core of what makes Mango’s methodology unique. Since each lesson is based on actual conversation, Mango students are constantly learning about grammar and sentence structure, at the same time that they’re learning vocabulary and pronunciation. Through Mango’s semantic color mapping, literal translations, grammar notes, and critical thinking exercises, students begin to intuitively understand how words and phrases are combined to construct meaning.
  • Culture
    Mango integrates cultural insights into every lesson, ensuring that users develop an understanding of the expectations, customs, and etiquette of the culture they are studying. This understanding helps students navigate the most appropriate language to use in particular situations and with different audiences.

Mango is your patrons’ gateway to new opportunities. Whether they’re are preparing for the trip of a lifetime, seeking personal or professional development or learning English to settle in the U.S., Mango can help your patrons start a conversation. Unlimited simultaneous access means that Mango can be used anytime, anywhere—online at the library, remotely from home, or on a smartphone with our FREE mobile apps. Mango also offers administrative tools to track usage and a variety of promotional materials to help you spread the word and attract new patrons. What’s not to love?
