What is Mango?

A new language learning e-resource.

It is available on the TRACpac website under the E-resource
links http://www.tracpac.ab.ca/e-resources

Mango replaces the previous TellMeMore / Auralog e-resource.

Mango supports 34 languages for native English students and
15 languages for English as a Second Language students.

Many of these languages are available at either Basic or
Complete (Advanced) levels of detail.
What do you need?

TRAC barcode (library membership) and pin number to open
Mango from the TRACpac website.

You can then create a personal account in Mango so you can
take language courses on multiple visits.

The software is Flash based so most Marigold library computers
will not need extra software installed to make it work.

Flash is free from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ if library
patrons need it for their home computers.

May want to purchase microphone headsets for privacy and
convenience.
