Mango Languages: An engaging and highly adaptive foreign language app with a wide range of languages

Mango Languages is an engaging and interesting mastery-based foreign language program that teaches a wide range of languages to students who are interested in numerous cultures. Mango Languages is a language service which was based in Michigan by Mike Teshuba, Ryan Whalen, Mike Goulas and Jason Teshuban in 2007. As businessmen, they saw an important need for language learning and deciding to create this tool.. Mango Languages is an innovative way of learning diverse languages because it provides challenging exercises to enforce in-depth language learning. Students can log onto their accounts and learn through listening and reading activities that adapt accordingly to the students' needs. Students can use these all-in-on interface to learn specific languages of their choosing and review grammar and culture notes. Parents love how the website adapts to the specific needs of the students using the website and addresses grammar issues and sentence structure issues. This is well-suited to students who have a tendency to struggle more than other students and therefore need the extra practice. Parents don't like how some of these exercises are not hands-on and therefore may not be interesting for students who have a hard time focusing in online lectures. This is most likely not for students who enjoy project-based culture projects or want to extend beyond learning the basics of grammar.

Grades: K-12th grade

Cost: Each language learning course is $8.00 monthly and all the languages being offered is $18.00 monthly.
