LIBRARIES OFFER ONLINE LANGUAGE COURSES
By the Herald staff

The Walla Walla County Rural Library District is offering a new online language-learning resource to patrons called Mango Languages.

Mango is an online language learning system that focuses on teaching conversation skills for a wide variety of languages. Each lesson combines real-life situations and audio from native speakers with an easy-to-follow interface and simple, clear instructions.

Mango Languages currently offers 12 language courses: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, Russian, English for Spanish speakers, English for Brazilian Portuguese speakers, and English for Polish speakers.

The Walla Walla County Rural Library District will provide drop-in demonstrations of the language program at several libraries. The schedule is as follows:

• Burbank Library, 875 Lake Road: Sept. 23, noon to 8 p.m. and Sept. 26, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Prescott Library, 103 S. D St.: Sept. 24, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
