Learn Another Language http://www.rhpl.org/rhpl-newsline/1219-learn-another-language http://www.rhpl.org/rhpl-newsline/1219-learn-another-language Mango-languagesWant to learn another language? RHPL now has a subscription to Mango Languages, an online language learning system that teaches real conversation skills for practical communication in over 70 languages! Through fun and engaging interactive lessons, Mango makes learning a new language fast, easy and incredibly effective. The system is completely web-based and remotely accessible, so you can learn anywhere you have an internet connection. As you listen to and repeat after native speakers, you'll learn more than just words and phrases. You'll learn how those pieces can be rearranged and combined to make new thoughts, new conversations, and even more practical communication! In no time at all, you'll be able to navigate all sorts of everyday situations — get directions, order a meal, make new friends — the possibilities are endless!

From our homepage, just head to Mango Languages under Explore > Research > Language Learning, create a profile, and you'll be saying "c'est facile!" before you know it.
