Looking to learn a new language but not sure where to start? Look no further than the free Mango Languages app available with your Tewksbury Library card!

• What is Mango Languages? Mango is a versatile language learning tool that helps you  stick with your goals and build your knowledge of reading, writing, and speaking in another language through consistent practice.

Mango’s all-in-one interface makes  tracking your progress easy and fun, too! 

• How does Mango work? Mango’s exercises work with you by learning how you learn and adapting exercises to suit your learning style. The app and website feature memory-building exercises, critical-thinking exercises and grammar and culture notes. Mango goes beyond the basics to give you real-life tips with a mix of listening and reading activities to help build context and work on your pronunciations.  

• What devices are compatible with Mango? Apple and Android devices including smartphones and tablets are compatible. The Mango Languages app is available, for free, in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Additionally, you can access Mango on an up-to-date browser in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on your computer here.
