- Mango LanguagesMango Languages is a great online language learning program for both English and Foreign Languages. For the English learning component, users can select their native language as the language through which they learn English. Mango uses real-life situations and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. By listening to and repeating after material designed from native conversations, you'll not only learn the individual words and phrases, you'll know how they're used in practical situations and conversations. You'll learn more than grammar, vocabulary and conjugation, you'll learn how to communicate. You will be asked to register for a free account so you may resume your learning sessions at any time.
