Mango Languages

Online language courses, emphasizing conversational skills.

Full Mango courses are available for Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, and English for Spanish, Portuguese and Polish speakers.

Short courses for learning basic words and phrases in 22 languages.  There are also short basic English courses for speakers of 14 languages.

If you want the software to keep track of your progress, you should set up a user name and password in Mango.  It is not required that you do so, however.

Troubleshooting 

Tell Me More - Tell Me More is no longer available due to library budget cuts. We value you as a customer and hope you will try our other language-learning offerings: Mango Languages for online interactive learning; downloadable audio from Maryland's Digital eLibrary Consortium and NetLibrary, and print and non-print resources in our library branches.

Downloadable Audio

Both of our downloadable audiobook services offer some language learning titles. 

Pimsleur from NetLibrary:  Beginning in November 2009, NetLibrary changed its subscription plan for the Pimsleur language-learning titles.  Whereas previously we received all the Pimsleur titles with unlimited usage, now we select specific titles, which will be available on a one-copy/one-user-at-a-time model.  Some of our selected titles have multiple copies.  You will be able to place holds.  

MCPL also circulates Pimsleur language-learning CD’s from our branches.
