Creative Bridges for Language Learning
The performing arts are wonderful instruments for language instruction because they incorporate different learning styles and intelligence types engaging the whole person in verbal and nonverbal multi-sensory ways of self-expression and communication. Students become active, self- motivated constructors of meaning and therefore life long learners. By providing an alternative audio, visual and kinesthetic symbol system; the performing arts can serve as an important resource of communication. It offers another vocabulary that the students can use to express their ideas, feelings and concepts. The active involvement of mind and body helps students to grasp an abstract concept more effectively than if they were simply reading about it in a textbook.

Say hola to the future of foreign language learning on the web. Mango Languages offers free foreign language lessons in a dozen languages at www.mangolanguages.com.

A new concept, mangolanguages.com has married the teaching abilities of linguistic teachers from around the world with the latest software technologies, providing users with an easy to access way to learn a foreign language online at their own pace.

Unlike other language acquisition products, mangolanguages.com is unique because it features a one-of-a-kind comprehensive teaching approach that actively engages audio and visual cues to assist users in language acquisition.

Students learn vocabulary and grammar by engaging in real and meaningful conversations that are broken down line by line, word for word. Phrases and sentences are spelled out in both the language the student is trying to learn and in English. For the two ESL courses, the opposite applies in that phrases and sentences are spelled out in the student’s native language (either Spanish or Polish) and also in English. The words that make up the phrases and sentences are color-coded so the user understands how each word translates. The user can also click on each word to hear the pronunciation or click a button to hear the whole sentence spoken by a native speaker at a rapid conversational pace. The inaugural launch of mangolanguages.com features 100 lessons in nearly a dozen languages, including: Spanish, English for Spanish and Polish speakers, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Greek.

By early 2008, Mango Languages plans to launch the second version of the site which will further refine and polish the original language lessons, and add new lessons in Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Polish, Vietnamese, Thai, Cantonese Chinese, Irish Gaelic, Farsi, Hindi, Turkish and Ukrainian.

The site is free and is a great resource for students. Log on to check it out at mangolanguages.com

Learn a foreign languages online for free at www.mangolanguages.com.

Mangolanguages.com features 100 lessons in nearly a dozen languages, including: Spanish, English for Spanish and Polish speakers, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Greek.

By early 2008, Mango Languages plans to launch the second version of the site which will further refine and polish the original language lessons, and add new lessons in Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Polish, Vietnamese, Thai, Cantonese Chinese, Irish Gaelic, Farsi, Hindi, Turkish and Ukrainian.

A new concept, mangolanguages.com has married the teaching abilities of linguists from around the world with the latest software technologies, providing users with an easy to access way to learn a foreign language online at their own pace.

Unlike other language acquisition products, mangolanguages.com is unique because it features a one-of-a-kind comprehensive teaching approach that actively engages audio and visual cues to assist users in language acquisition.

Students learn vocabulary and grammar by engaging in real and meaningful conversations that are broken down line by line, word for word. Phrases and sentences are spelled out in both the language the student is trying to learn and in English. For the two ESL courses, the opposite applies in that phrases and sentences are spelled out in the student’s native language (either Spanish or Polish) and also in English. The words that make up the phrases and sentences are color-coded so the user understands how each word translates. The user can also click on each word to hear the pronunciation or click a button to hear the whole sentence spoken by a native speaker at a rapid conversational pace.
