Learn a New Language with Mango!
Let’s be clear-we’re not saying you HAVE to learn a new language in quarantine, instead of lying on the couch, finding wonderful new shows to binge, or reading ‘can’t put down’ books on Libby on your iPad-no judgement here.
However, we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that you CAN if you want to-for free, with your Falmouth-issued CLAMS card! Welcome to the wonderful world of MANGO Languages.
You can find MANGO on the main screen on our web page. Find the “eBranch” pull-down near the top and go to “Online Resources”. Once you’re on the page, scroll down to “Learning”-then select the far-right “home” icon next to Mango. On your first visit, it will ask you for your card number, and then prompt you to create your own login, with your email address and a password. Feel free to call or email us if you don’t remember your card number.
Once you’re there, you can pick from 70 languages! Want to learn Spanish because it’s the most widely used language in this country after English? French or Italian to listen along with some wonderful movies, and maybe even use on a European vacation some day? Learn Russian, Chinese, Japanese or Hebrew, just because you’ve always been curious? Well, you can!
Mango Languages starts simple, beginning with basic greetings, and then builds to phrases you’ll really use in daily life. You can practice your accent on certain words until you get it right. It will eventually cover the finer points of grammar as well.
Delve deep into one language-or just learn basic phrases in many! Buenos suerte!
