The Student Tech Fee is funding access to Mango Languages, a learning tool for learning a different language. Mango has many languages, including popular ones like Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, German, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and more. It also has English for speakers of many foreign languages and is fairly user-friendly. Try it now!
You can access Mango through the library web site from our Databases A-Z list and the Databases by Subject page. The Century community can use it off campus, but you will need to use the barcode from the back of your ID as your login and your last name as your password. Users will also probably want to sign up for a free account that can track their progress.
If you plan to travel or just want to increase your skills, sign up for a free account and start today.
