Mango Monday: Do you speak Texan?

Do you speak Texan?
Mangoes traded the snowy Michigan weather for some southern hospitality (and sunshine) while attending ALA Midwinter 2012 in Dallas, Texas!

While we got a little taste of the south, we gave a taste of mango smoothies to stoppers-by at the Mango booth. Attendees could also check out demonstrations of the Mango iPhone app, Little Pim and learn some Hindi!

While we were sporting tie-dye and mango smoothie sugar-buzzes, we saw many wonderful familiar faces, made great new friends and heard inspiring language learning success stories.

We even got a short lesson in “Southern English” from a few true Texans, y’all!

Check out some pictures from our adventure and let us know: did you drop by the Mango Languages booth at ALA Midwinter in Dallas this year? Do you still remember how to say, “where is the bus station” in Hindi?

    I use Mango Italian through the public library. Does Mango have quizzes corresponding with the chapters?

    • Rachel Reardon says:

      Hi Natalie! We’re so thrilled to hear that you’re using Mango to learn Italian! How is it going so far? Also, great question! Mango does not provide any supplemental quizzes that correspond with the chapters. The way we quiz you is integrated throughout the program on quiz slides. Those are the ones with the clock on the top. Good luck with your Italian and keep us updated on your progress!
