New! Mango Languages Program
Pittsburg Public Library is pleased to announce that we now offer the Mango Languages online language-learning system to our patrons, through the State Library of Kansas.
Learning a new language with Mango Languages is free for all library patrons.
Mango is available in two versions. Mango Complete, a 100-lesson course that is designed to provide a deep understanding of a language and its culture.
Mango Basic is a beginner course that teaches everyday greetings, goodbyes, and helpful phrases in a short period of time.
Mango Languages offer more than 40 foreign language courses and 16 English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
Click the link to get started. New users will need to create a profile with an email address and password. Mango will track your progress and you learn a new language.
