Would you like to learn a foreign language free on your home computer?

The Mango language learning system uses audio, video, and interactive content to make learning a new language easy and fun. Mango uses real-life situations and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. By listening to, and repeating after, native speakers’ conversations, you'll not only learn the individual words and phrases, but also know how they're used in practical situations and conversations. A Virtual Tutor guides you through each lesson, so you know what to do each step of the way. You can hover your mouse over a foreign word to see a convenient phonetic spelling or learn how to pronounce words in your chosen language with recording of native speakers. Quizzes are strategically placed throughout the lesson to ensure maximum retention and recall of the material.

All you need to do to get started is visit our website and click on ONLINE RESOURCES, then chose Mango. You will be prompted to enter the barcode from the back of your Dover Public Library card; then choose any of 22 foreign languages such as Italian, German, Greek, Irish, or French, or from 14 ESL courses like English for Mandarin Chinese speakers. If you are connecting from a remote location, you will need to log in from this page, not through the online catalog’s databases tab which is for in-library use only. If you would like to track your progress, and save where you left off so you can return to the same place in the lesson, just create a free account with your library card, email address and a password.

This award winning language learning system works with both Macs and PCs, and with all the major web browsers. So what are you waiting for?

Que tengas un buen día !
