Lesson 6 - Mango Languages

1.  No problem there.  It was very easy to make a profile.

2.  I was disappointed that it didn't have a Latin course but I looked at Italian and it seems to be a very nice way to learn a language.  It was easy to follow once you know to push the arrow button on the right.  It also had a translation page but it doesn't tell you how to pronounce it.  It just writes the translation down.  But I did like the flash-card flipping with the audio and that you can go back and forward as much as you need to.  I also liked the cultural hints.  I would definitely tell others about it.  I did a demo on Pimsleur language course before and it seemed to be similar.  I liked both of them.  Buongiorno! was the first word I learned.

  1. I'm glad it was easy.

    It's great to hear about the Pimsleur comparison. Mango also offers Little Pim, for children. It's not part of the statewide subscription, but I know some libraries subscribe independently. I wonder if the Pim in Little Pim is from Pimsleur. Curious.

    You did inspire me to see if Pimsleur and Mango were related. They don't appear to be, but searching on brought up some interesting comparisons.
