Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo, Ciao, Konnichiwa. Did you know that you can learn to speak another language for FREE?
The Patagonia Public Library offers the online Mango language service absolutely free to all our members. Mango provides language courses where you will simultaneously learn vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar through interactive activities.
How does one access this amazing product? First, obtain a library card by becoming a member of the Patagonia Library if you don’t have one already.
Once a member, you can access our website at patagoniapubliclibrary.org. Click the “Resources” tab located in the upper right side of the screen; next click “Free to our Patrons.” Scroll down on this page until you see Mango Languages and click directly on that icon.
You have two choices when logging in to Mango. To log in as a guest, simply put your name and library card number in. Or you can create an account using your name, email address and card number. (Note: you will have to authenticate your email address).
Once you have done this, the main Mango page will open, which is where you pick a language to learn. The application will lead you through the process with easy step-by-step learning guides.
With over 70 languages for you to choose from, including American Sign Language, you should be able to find one that suits your learning style.
Good luck! Viel Gluck! Bonne chance! Buena suerte! In bocca al lupo! Haeng un eul bile o yo!
