Digital Content with your Library Card: Mango Languages

Mango

What is Mango?
Mango is a language learning service provided by the Tappan Library to our card holders. You can learn using your computer of mobile device. 

How do I sign up?
Go to https://connect.mangolanguages.com/tappanlibrary/ to create your account. Click on the "Sign Up" button and enter your email address, library card number, pin, and a password you will remember. See the guides below for a Step-by-Step walkthrough on signing up.

What languages does it offer? 
Mango offers over 70 languages and dialects, including, but not limited to: Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, and more! 

How does it work?
Mango offers a blend of the right content at the right time, with intelligent algorithms, high-quality audio, and powered by proven methodologies,  Mango adapts to your unique learning style, so you pick up on new vocabulary, intuit unfamiliar grammatical structure, and train your pronunciation. Lessons involve a mix of listening and reading activities, so you can make sense of written and spoken contexts. A simplified learning environment presents content structure, review progress, and learning activities front and center, while streamlined navigation encourages you to explore different topics in your target language. 

Is it interactive or just listening?
Both! You can do lessons in an interactive environment, or choose the autoplay feature from the app! 

Can I use it offline?
Yes! Lessons can be downloaded and done when you don't have access to the internet.
