Mango

I chose Norwegian as the language to learn on Mango.  I found out that there are about 5 million speakers, and it is spoken in Norway.

I completed lesson 1, and these are my findings, likes, and dislikes:
- You can hear someone speaking the words
- there is a "pronunciation" button if you need a review
- there is a "slide" or demonstration for each word in the lesson
- there is a "record" button to compare your pronunciation with the person speaking.  Not sure if this was possible on my computer.
- It would be helpful to have a dictionary that you could find a translation for the English word
- It would be helpful to see a list of the lessons that are presented, or available, in the Mango program.

 There is a translation tool which could be very helpful.

  1. Norwegian is a great choice! Interesting discoveries. One could use the translate feature to as a translation dictionary. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by seeing the list of lessons. Each language has various options and if you go in, you can see what lessons are available. Hope this helps. Thanks for your post! Julie
