The Petoskey District Library is pleased to announce that it now offers the Mango Languages online language-learning system to its patrons.
Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world application that integrates components of vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture.
Users learn actual conversation, breaking down complex conversational elements within an audio-visual framework that allows the user to draw important connections between pieces of information they have already learned.
Mango is currently available in 38 foreign language and 15 ESL (English as a Second Language) courses. To learn more about Mango and get a preview of what the program has to offer, stop by the library and we will give you an introduction. Best of all, if you have your library card and have access to the Internet, you can access the actual courses remotely from anywhere!
