The Old Bridge Library recently introduced Mango Languages – “the easiest way to learn a foreign language.” Available on the library’s main web site and free to all library cardholders, Mango offers interactive, conversational lessons in nine languages, plus three languages for ESL (English as a Second Language) learners. It teaches actual conversational skills with a system that is so easy to use, you’ll see incredible results after just one session!

Languages include Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Greek, Japanese, Brazilian Portugese, and Mandarin Chinese. Also provided are lessons in English for speakers of Spanish, Polish, and Brazilian Portugese. More languages are expected to be added in coming months.

All you need to get started is your library card; enter all the digits from the back of the card (under the bar code), with no spaces. You can just sign in and practice, or register so you can come back later and pick up where you left off. Try it – it’s free and lots of fun! Access to Mango is available from any Internet-connected computer… at home, at work, or at the library.
