Mango Languages

Oakland County Moms Review

Check out this review on the Oakland County Moms website!

“My parents are bilingual, as are many of my relatives. I have tried all my life to learn how to speak the Italian language, and I must admit, I wouldn’t survive a day trying to get around in Italy.

I recently tried Mango Passport, a language learning tool that I downloaded from the Mango Languages website. I chose Italian, and I got to work.

What I really like about Mango:

-You don’t have to leave your house

-You can work at your own pace, unlike a classroom setting

-The set up is very effective – more on this later

-Kids love it

Finally, I found a language learning tool that is convenient for me. The set up of the Mango language lessons is very effective. You would really have to see it for yourself to understand how I am trying to explain it, but I will do my best to give you a good idea. You scroll through lessons. Each subsequent lesson builds on the previous language lesson. Read More…

Mango Languages for K-12 Students

Mango has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on our Educator Edition that is currently being made available to our K-12 customers and higher educational facilities.  This new edition has some very exciting functionality designed specifically with students and teachers in mind.  One cool feature is the ability to track students’ usage as they progress through the Mango lessons.

Teachers can segment their student population into virtual classrooms, making it extremely easy to track different groups of students. They can name their virtual classrooms any name they wish and view small portions of students with whom they are actively involved.  Once inside the virtual classroom, each student has their own set of statistics to view including which language they are using, which lessons they have attempted, and how long they have spent on each lesson.  Teachers now have the ability to assign Mango as homework with our unlimited remote access feature, and they can actually see which students are completing the selected lessons!

This is just one of the features that makes our Educator Edition such an effective tool to help teachers share their love of language learning with their students.  Teacher feedback was critical to the design of this unique interface, and it their suggestions have also put Mango to work on our assessment feature and custom lessons.  Think of all the tools you have available in your school for language learning:  can you think of other features that we could include to make it even better? What kinds of features do you wish you had had as a student when you were learning a foreign language in your school?

Core Value: Integrity

Mango Languages’ core values define our work culture. These values play a key role in every single thing that we do throughout the day here at Mango. Our six core values are:

1. Entrepreneurial Spirit
2. Quality
3. Innovation
4. Integrity
5. Fundipline (hybrid of fun and discipline)
6. Positive Attitude

Today’s post is about #4, Integrity. I, personally, think this the backbone of all of our other core values. Without it, the other core values truly cannot exist.

We take this core value very seriously at Mango. From course creation all the way to the promotional goodies we dole out, every step in the process is taken with careful consideration. It is embodied in everything: from double-checking the quality of every slide, to our Language Learning Specialists’ everyday interactions, even to the highest level of the company where all of our largest decisions are made.

Integrity is what really sets us apart from a lot of other companies, and not just in Language Learning. I think that having this core value be reflected in everything we do from day to day helps us to keep a good “head” on the company shoulders.

What do you think? Does integrity translate into good work?
