Mango Languages There seems to be no end to the benefits of learning another language. Besides improving our ability to engage more deeply with a foreign culture, whether while travelling abroad or while reading a novel in its original language. Some studies have even indicated second language proficiency is related to sharpened cognitive function, improved creativity, and even increased income. But language learning courses can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Unlike other programs, Mango Languages is free to use. You only need your library card to access courses in more than 70 languages. |
