Grammar Goals Guides
Read the grammar behind the lesson you're on
A Grammar Goals Guide lines the article library up against the Mango course itself, unit by unit and goal by goal. Find your unit, and the explanation is right there.
Available guides
7 languages have one
Each guide covers the whole course for that language. More are being written.
Chinese (Mandarin)
Four tones, measure words, and not a single verb conjugation.
English
Phrasal verbs, articles, and the tenses native speakers can't explain.
French
Gendered nouns, liaison, and the silent letters that still matter.
German
Four cases, three genders, and verbs that save the best for last.
Portuguese (Brazilian)
Nasal vowels, a personal infinitive, and a subjunctive for the future.
Russian
Six cases, two aspects, and the language of Tolstoy.
Spanish (Latin American)
Two past tenses, the subjunctive, and a continent of accents.
How to use one
Three ways in
If you are working through a Mango course, find your unit and chapter in the guide and read the articles listed against the goal you are on. They are written to be read alongside the lesson, not instead of it.
If you are teaching, the guide is the quickest way to assign reading that matches where a class actually is. The K-12 side has its own materials at teacher resources.
If you are studying on your own, you may want the library rather than the course order, so start at articles & lessons and pick your language, or look a term up in the grammar glossary.
