Yes.  That’s right.  Mango is FREE.  We have received emails from a number of you implying that you are unaware of the fact that Mango is still free.  When we launched on August 31, 2007, we gave away every feature in every lesson in every language for free.  We are still giving away a ton of free content and features although it will be scaled back from what we were offering before. 

What do I get for free?

1. Learn over 1,100 common high frequency words in your new language.  This is available in every one of our 11 language courses.  As new languages become available, you will have access to those as well.
2. Learn grammar the natural way and learn to put those words together to engage in real and meaningful conversation. 
3. Color coded translations for phrases and sentences so that you can clearly see what words and phrases in your new language actually mean in your native language.
4. Understood translations so that you sound natural when speaking your new language.
5. Literal translations so that you understand the literal meaning of the words that you are speaking and build a stronger vocabulary.
6. Native male and female voices clearly pronouncing words and phrases so that you can learn to understand native pronunciation and so that you can learn to speak like a native.
7. The first 5 lessons of every course will have the Pro level features for free.

As you may have noticed, we don’t have the forum up at the moment.  For those of you that have been using and enjoying the forum we apologize for this.  The reason that we took it down was that we were using a packaged content management system that included a forum application.  We quickly outgrew this prepackaged solution and found that we needed to develop our own custom applications to accomplish everything that we need to.  The prepackaged software was getting in the way of growth and future development and we decided to part with it.  We plan on incorporating community discussions into the lessons themselves and building a social network to replace the previous forum.
