Learning a New Language



Good morning eager new language students.  As you may have noticed, the Wells Branch Community Library has added a new database, Mango.  This database is a learning tool for anyone who wants to learn a second, third, or even fourth language, giving users an intuitive and easy to use system to help them learn a new language fast.

Best of all, it is available to all members of the Wells Branch Community Library free of charge from anywhere they have an internet connection.  Just go to http://wblibrary.org/databases and click on Mango Languages.  This will take you to a site you can access with your library card from inside the library, or from the comfort of your own home.

For the next few months, you will see posts from me about my own experiences using Mango to learn Spanish, and how easy and quickly you too can learn a language.  There are many to choose, from Arabic to Vietnamese, so there is sure to be a language that piques your interest.

Have fun and happy learning,
Brian Coalson
WBCL Board Treasurer
