FEATURES
- Learn through conversations
Every lesson of Mango Conversations is taught through conversation. This gives you an edge in understanding your new language. - Challenge your critical thinking
With a focus on getting you to create new meaning on your own, Mango Conversations challenges you to combine what you’ve already learned to build something new. - Cultural Insights
Relevant culture notes are included in each lesson. Language lets you speak, but cultural understanding lets you connect with a new way of life. - Memory building exercises
Perfectly timed memory building exercises ensure you remember what you learn. Get something wrong? Don’t worry, you’ll come back to it later. - Pronunciation helpers
Popups help you with your pronunciation. Even the most difficult to pronounce words can be mastered with ease. - Goal-based learning
Part of becoming good at your new language is to meet communication tasks. Each chapter aligns your learning to a set of conversational and grammar goals. - Relevant learning material
Learn things you’ll actually put to use in your new language. By learning language and culture through real situations, you’re more prepared to hit the streets. - Interactive Audio
Didn’t catch something? No problem! Listen to crystal clear audio for every word and phrase. Dial in that perfect accent in no time. - Understood and literal meanings
Learn both understood and literal meanings. For example, the literal meaning for ‘How are you?’ in Russian is ‘How your things?’
