Thing # 6 Mango Languages

Mango Languages is a great tool for students wanting to learn a foreign language. Students would be able to apply their new vocabulary and use them in real conversations. When vocabulary and grammar taught in a classroom, students could go months or even years before using it in real conversations. Mango uses vocabulary and grammar into sentences that are used daily. There are not many language programs that can teach new words and grammar and be immediately used. Mango allows you to see the sentence, says it in Spanish, and then breaks down the sentence word for word. Then, you eventually will be asked to say the sentence in Spanish. What a great idea!! The only problem with this program is the cost. It is $160.00 for a 3-month subscription, $220.00 for a 6-month subscription, and $345.00 for a 1-year subscription. I feel that is way too much money. If the price wasn't so high I would definitely use it for myself. The upside is that libraries can purchase the program. I would honestly see if the program could be purchased through my future school's library.
