Lights, Camera, Language



Want to learn a language, but lack the motivation? If so, you’re not alone – and you’re in luck.

Neill Public Library is excited to announce the availability of Mango Premiere, a one of a kind language learning resource that teaches language through film. This new resource within Mango Languages will become available November 12th.  Patrons can access Mango via the library’s website; Mango is also available through mobile apps.

Mango Languages is a leading provider of self-guided language learning software and one of the most popular online resources offered at NPL. The company has just launched Mango Premiere, introducing movies that use Mango’s methodology to teach language learners language, grammar, vocabulary and culture through film. Mango will be releasing a total of 20 movies by the end of the year in seven different languages.



“Neill Public Library is always looking for ways to connect our patrons with innovative resources which support lifelong learning.  The video format provides learners with the ability to hear and watch language be spoken.  Video is also a terrific way to explore different cultures," said Joanna Bailey, Library Director.

Mango Premiere adapts to today’s learners by combining education with entertainment.

“Our research shows that the two biggest barriers to learning a new language are time and motivation. Mango Premiere addresses both of these constraints, because let’s face it…who doesn’t like to watch movies,” said Jason Teshuba, Mango Languages CEO and linguapreneur. “We developed Mango Premiere so language learners can be entertained, while immersing themselves in the everyday life and culture of a country through Mango lessons and the storyline of the film.”

Mango Languages serves more than 2,700 libraries across the country. Mango Premiere uses the same respected methodology that made Mango's current products a success and is available to NPL patrons along with 60 foreign and 17 ESL language courses.
