PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE LIBRARY ANNOUNCES

THE ADDITION OF MANGO LANGUAGES

 

Palm Beach State College Library is pleased to announce that it now offers the Mango Languages online language-learning system to its students and staff.

            Learning a new language with Mango Languages is free for all PBSC students and staff and offers a fast and convenient solution for our community’s increasing language-learning needs. Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world application that integrates components of vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture. Users learn actual conversation, breaking down complex linguistic elements within an audio-visual framework that draws important connections and builds on information they have already learned.

            Mango teaches everyday greetings, goodbyes and helpful phrases in a short period of time and is designed to appeal to a beginner in a new language. There are more than 50 foreign language courses available and 16 English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.

            We are thrilled to add our library to the growing list of libraries across the country who have added Mango to their resources. Some students could use this resource as a supplementary material for a language course, other members of the community might just want to learn a new language because they think it would be interesting, or for traveling. No matter the reason, learning the language should be fun. With Mango, it definitely is.

            To learn more about Mango and get a preview of what the program has to offer, stop by the library and we will give you an introduction. You can access Mango through your PantherWeb by clicking on the Library icon and then looking for Mango Languages under Databases A-Z.

            For more information, contact Pat Alvarez, Librarian at the LW Campus Library at (561) 868-3696 or alvarezp@palmbeachstate.edu
