Mángo Languages
Nov 5th, 2007 by Don Ray
I had a reader send me a link for a site called Mángo Languages. If you are planning a move to Panama, or another Latin American country, and have no Spanish language capability, this might be a good place to start. This is a online Web based set of lessons.
The interface is clean and provides both visual and auditory means to take you through the lessons. For a free resource on the Internet, I think you will find it beneficial in assisting you to get started in moving to and integrating into a Spanish speaking community.
Also, if you know Spanish speaking individuals, that want to learn English, it will help them as well. Thanks to the reader that sent the link.
Hi Don:
Thanks for the link. I’ll start taking English lessons at the site. It looks very professional and the interface is very clean as you stated.
Regards,
Omar.-
Hi Omar. I think your English is more advanced than the site’s. However, I will be interested in your perspective as a Spanish speaking person wanting to learn English.
I have been listening to The Spanish Connection podcasts and have been learning a lot! I was even able to read a paragraph in a Spanish language newspaper! I’ll check into this, too.
Hi Laurel. Thanks for dropping in. Your suggestion about the podcasts sounds like a good idea as well.
David Spencer has recently posted two podcasts called Spanish for Landscaping, where he goes over phrases that help you hire someone for landscaping work. You can get them in iTunes. His regular series is called Learn Spanish– Survival Guide. Really useful!
Hi again Laurel. Those do sound like they could have some application in Panama.
The “Mango Language” site you provided is great!!! Even better, it’s a free program. Thanks for the citation.
Hi Greg. I can’t take credit for finding it, but it does seem to be worth more than it costs. Nothing like getting something for nothing.
