Beyond Mango
We all know Mango Languages is fantastic. If you don’t, you can get up to speed here. But did you know about our other language learning tools?
Let’s say you want to learn some Greek, so you head over to Pimsleur, a trusted name in quick and impactful language instruction for over 60 years. The Greek program alone is $19.95 a month! The Pimsleur method is effective, of course, but you’re going to be spending more than $20 getting the hang of the language.
If you are set on Pimsleur, you can head over to Hoopla, where “each lesson provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation, and new vocabulary and structures.”
In fact, Hoopla has a fantastic array of Pimsleur options, including English instruction for native speakers of a variety of other languages (English for Arabic speakers, English for Norwegian speakers, etc).
You don’t have to limit yourself to Mr. Pimsleur, either! Hoopla has lots of options for audiobook language learning.
And it’s not just Hoopla. And it’s not just Greek! You can find similar content in our Libby collection.
You can also head over to Udemy for language instruction!
Whether you want to brush up on a new language in time for an upcoming vacation, or you have new neighbors who speak a language new to you, there are so many ways our eResources can support your language learning goals.
