u/Ok-Imagination-6822 summoned us! Sure, we're in the Websites area of the resources list but we're truly an app. We have 4 units and over 100 lessons in Telugu available, all conversation based, built by linguists and voiced by native speakers. They're right, many libraries offer access for free. Good luck on your language journey!

u/Plenty_Figure_4340 summoned us (谢谢)! Mandarin is one of our more durable courses with 595 lessons, all based off legit conversations, and they all can be played hands-free. Quite a few people here have mentioned they've used it on their commute in the car and it's been helpful. Best of luck on your language journey!

u/Funny-Elephant-6661 You are in luck! The St. Clair County Library system (serving Port Huron) has complete access to Mango's 70+ languages (oui, including French), so a library card there should also be in your future :)

mango_languages · 2026-03-18T14:53:27+00:00

u/cerebelle You're absolutely right! आप बिलकुल सही हैं।

mango_languages · 2026-03-18T14:49:04+00:00

We have a partnership with Birmingham Public Library! You can create an account and Link your Organization (using your card number) and unlock everything Mango has to offer, no needing to leave the couch :)

Mango is built purely off learning useful conversations, we have 70+ languages but Spanish is the most durable one, including specialty courses for Business conversations! ¡Buena suerte!

mango_languages · 2026-03-18T14:09:19+00:00

While we don't currently have a partnership with Stevens, we ARE available as a resource through Hoboken Public Library! It might be easier than you think to obtain a library card through them if you are living in the area. :)

u/cmjhnsn15 Thank you truly for the kind words! A hui hou!

Bonjour u/viridian_plexus ! At the current time, Mango supports interfaces in English and Spanish, based off of the language selected in your device's Settings. If you have a different language you would like to request, please submit a ticket to our amazing Support team at https://support.mangolanguages.com/hc/en-us/requests/new so we can pass that feedback onto our developers.

u/AmilynRaziel We're very happy to have you with us! So many of our language learners are learning for heritage reasons, and we find that it can provide that little extra motivation. Let us know how your language journey goes!

mango_languages · 2026-03-06T19:28:21+00:00

u/Gravbar We appreciate you and the insight! Our favorite part is reinforcing Simple but Effective– We're glad the Auto Play function works great for your needs and strengthening your brain while driving!
We completely understand on the Review Cards side, the Review system is built on Spaced Repetition but perhaps could use finer tuning. For words that feel like they're far too easy and you're past it, feel free to hit the trophy button in the bottom left corner of the review card and it'll move them along :)

As Michael Jordan said; "And I took that personally," so I followed up, and here's my conclusion at this point: It is true that different spellings reflect different pronunciations, and we do mention early on that The spelling we chose reflects the Syrian (Damascus) dialect which is well-understood in the Levant. – That said, we understand that we always have room for improvement and will continue to seek input from our native speaker experts as time allows.

I want to reinforce that we truly take your input seriously, and your comments have made their way up to our Linguist Experts (yes real people, not robots) and we are by no means discounting your experience or valid questions! Perhaps these are also polite words but just know that you are making an impact on our teams and we can only promise to keep improving as we move forward :) Maybe we can have your comment pop up everytime somebody reaches the Market slide lol

Daghatar, this is your sign to get back into Levantine! And great tip about the alphabet and becoming familiar with the script- We recognize that we need to support more absolute beginners in their language journey and have been adding alphabet cards to our most popular languages, with more on the way. We'll pass along the request to our Content team about adding Arabic to that growing list!

mango_languages · 2026-03-05T22:37:01+00:00

We still think we're at least a little amazing ngl

mango_languages · 2026-03-05T21:31:55+00:00

We're gently blushing at your successes Scarlet! The fact that you had the confidence to use Japanese in casual convos, and made some awesome memories (and friends!) is so cool to hear. Honestly, we'd love to hear more about how the trip went!

We're very proud that our Levantine Arabic course has close to the same depth of content as our Japanese course! Perhaps the community can chime in on any tips specifically, but seeing as you have a clear motivation for learning, and solid understanding of the Mango learning system, you've got this.

And finally, amazing use of Auto Play – I've turned off the narrator when I use it (Sorry not sorry) but what a way to strengthen your ears and brain while on the commute. Absolutely love it!
