Introducing: Conversational English for Mimes

meme 01 150x150 Introducing: Conversational English for MimesWe’re thrilled to announce the release of our highly anticipated, Conversational English for Mimes course!

At Mango Languages, we are proud to promote language and culture learning for the world’s most in-demand languages. Mango Passport: Conversational English for Mimes will provide a user-friendly and practical language-learning resource to support one of the most blatantly underserved and unrecognized cultural communities: mimes.

Helping the world communicate and promoting the growth of a more united global community means more than creating courses to help people learn to speak Spanish or learn to speak French. We are reaching out to a group whose language-learning needs have previously been ignored by our industry, “____________________________  ________________________________________________________
__________________,” said Mime Society President of Verbal Communication.

Mango Passport: Conversational English for Mimes boasts the same innovative features as our other online language learning resources: phonetic pronunciation guides, grammar and culture notes and the mime-community favorite, a voice comparison tool.

Mimes on the go never have to sacrifice mobility with Mango. Our mobile options allow you to learn while you’re performing on a street corner, traveling the world or stuck in a glass box.

What can a mime expect to learn with Mango Languages? Chapter topics include:

  • Telling someone you’re stuck in a box.
  • Interjections to convey surprise.
  • Expressing that you’re sick of pulling that rope.
  • Getting help finding face make-up in a store.
  • Asking if your beret is artfully askew.

Check out the course in action with Nicolas, Director of Pantomime at Mango:

Mango Voted Best Newcomer

IMG 0088 150x150 Mango Voted Best NewcomerLast night we wrapped up the Travel and Adventure show in Los Angeles California. This was the second Travel and Adventure show we exhibited at; we were in Washington DC last weekend.

We had a great time! The show itself was such a cultural experience. There were 500 exhibitors representing cultures and countries from all around the world. Attendees could find information from sky-diving in Nevada to doing a home-exchange with families across the globe.  Mango Languages fit right in.

The LA Times hosted the show, and the 20,000 attendees were excited to find out more information for their next adventure. There was no lack of entertainment at the show with performances on the World Beats stage and info sessions at the Culinary Corner.

At the Mango booth, we were excited to let everyone know about Mango Passport, our downloadable consumer product available in 28 language courses. We showed demos and explained our language learning methodology. We got to hear people share their language learning stories and how much they were looking forward to learning a new language for their upcoming international trips.

We also had a blast at the exhibitor party Saturday night at the Grammy Museum. All the exhibitors got a chance to share their trade show stories and relax after a long day on their feet. Best part, Mango Languages was awarded Best Newcomer to the Travel and Adventure Show! We’re so honored!

Overall it was a great weekend. Lots of information, great people, and great fun! Can’t wait for our next Travel and Adventure Show!

Next stop… Travel and Adventure Show in Dallas.

Oakland Press News 9

Check out this review of Mango on the Oakland Press website!

“Have you ever been on a trip somewhere in the world and wished you were able to talk to the locals more effectively in their language?

That’s something that’s easily achievable through a variety of computer programs, and one Oakland County company – Farmington Hills-based Mango Languages – has its own offering in this category.

I recently gave the company’s Mango Passport a whirl, learning Italian, and was impressed with what I saw.”  Read More…

Press Review-Wandering Educators

Check out this review from Wandering Educators:

“Language learning is the key to successful travel overseas. We’ve found a great way to Learn Languages Online (French, for us) with Language Learning Software from Mango Passport.

We’ve all been there – living overseas, trying to make ourselves understood in English, when we could’ve been more prepared and speaking that language. Although I pick up languages fast in context, I find that it is far easier to be prepared before you go. It opens up a new culture that you won’t find by just speaking English.  We’ve studied languages before – and it’s difficult to find one that will work with our entire family, including our 8 year-old daughter. That’s changed – let me tell you about Mango Passport.” Read More…
