The first page of each lesson gives an overview of the goals of the lesson.

The second page of the lesson gives an overview of the type of conversation you should be able to have at the end of the lesson.

You are given a word in English and then the same word in your chosen language. The computer will read them aloud for you. You can click the microphone to check your own pronunciation. You can click the return button (above the Next) to have the computer repeat the audio.

Hovering your cursor over the speaker button or the word in your chosen language will show you a written pronunciation of the word.

Mango lessons also provide tips on grammar to deepen your understanding of the language and how it is used.

Once the correct answer is revealed, you can test your pronunciation again with the microphone. Once you have learned a word, the computer will show you the English and ask you if you know it in the other language. You can click ‘Show Answer’ or wait until it is revealed.

In addition to grammar notes, Mango also provides notes on culture for the places where your chosen language is spoken. This gives you a better understanding of the language and culture and better prepares you to visit these places.

As you learn more words, you will learn how to put them together into sentences, with the goal of the conversation from the first page of the lesson.

When you finish the lesson, you can review what you learned, or press the X to go back to the lessons page.
