22 Dec Mango Languages
Do you want to go abroad, see the world, or even take a simple vacation? Would you like to communicate with a coworker or neighbor in their native tongue? Language is all around us every day, but, shockingly, only 20% of Americans report being able to hold a conversation in more than one language, compared to Europe’s near 60%. With your help, we can raise that number, and we have a great tool for you to use.
Mango Languages, one of our several databases available for free to PGTPL patrons, is a Language Learning service, offering 73 different courses on various languages. These include some rarer, more colloquial forms of different speeches, such as:
- Egyptian, Modern Standard, Levantine, and Iraqi Arabic
- Canadian French
- Latin American and Castilian Spanish
- Dead languages such as Ancient Greek, Koine Greek, and Latin
- And 2 Native American languages, Cherokee and Pottawatomie
So with all these choices and Mango’s ability to let you repeat lessons as many times as you need, why not pick up a language? If you’re at all nervous, here are a few languages that Mango offers that native English speakers usually find easy to learn:
- Norwegian
- Swahili
- French
- Italian
- Dutch
America is a country full of diversity, in peoples, culture, food, and tradition. Check out Mango Languages to add to your language skills and celebrate that mix!
