The UT Libraries now subscribes to Mango Languages, which offers online language learning through conversations and films. Language courses are accessible from a web browser or an app.

Mango Languages features:

• Over 60 foreign language courses featuring native speakers
• Over 17 English courses for non-English speakers, targeting essential and necessary dialog
• Cultural specialty courses such as medical Spanish, Arab etiquette, and Chinese (Mandarin) business vocabulary
• Free mobile apps for self-paced lessons, anytime-anywhere

UT users can link to Mango through the Libraries’ Articles & Databases link (see Modern Foreign Languages & Literatures).

First-time users must create a user profile to use Mango. Choose “sign up” and then choose a language to get to the profile set-up area. A user profile allows you to keep track of your progress and test results.
