I have just discovered ”Mango Languages”. This is an online language learning service with well-structured courses in 49 languages.
Many public libraries subscribe to Mango Languages and make the service available to their members. Goldfields Library Corporation (which includes Castlemaine) is a subscriber. Central Highlands Libraries (which includes Daylesford) does not subscribe. To access Mango, you need to login with a library card from a subscribing library. Note that anyone can be a member of Goldfields Library Corporation and use all their libraries, and their Mango subscription – residency is not a requirement.
From a computer, you must access Mango from a link on the website of the subscribing library service. For the Goldfields Library Corporation the link is:
http://www.ncgrl.vic.gov.au/e-resources/language
You don’t have to go to the library, you can access Mango from your home computer. There are also Mango mobile Apps for Android and Apple.
Once you are logged in and have created an account using your library card number and email address, the Mango website or App will track your progress through your chosen courses.
