Free Demo -- Mango Language Learning

The library is offering a free demo of Mango Languages, an online language learning center. Try one of the foreign language courses for English speakers, or learn English with narration in your native tongue through ESL courses taught in 15 different languages. There is even a voice compare feature which allows you to record yourself speaking and then compare your pronunciation side-by-side with the native speaker's voice. Try it today.

Mango Languages will be available to try until October 11. Please send any feedback or comments to Rachel Fleming, Head of Serials.
