Mango Languages Online Language Learning

Mango Languages currently has online courses in Turkish, Farsi, Hebrew, and several other languages, but they are also looking to expand into Arabic. If you are interested in working with Mango as an instructor of Levantine or Egyptian Arabic please contact Ms. Pamela Kendall at 248-254-7450 x848 or pamela.kendall@mangolanguage.com

"Mango Languages is a great substitute for the Rosetta Stone Language programs since Mango bases their prices on the size of the community in comparison to a projected number is users, which can be incredibly pricey [, also available for individual use]. Not only will teens have fun using this program, it will help them build self-esteem and teach them many things about a culture, which includes manners and how to present oneself when traveling abroad."

About Mango Languages
Many moons ago, when the internet was still young, our founders set out to turn their love of languages and learning about the world into a successful business venture. They were driven to make a better, more effective language learning experience, and wanted to have a little fun along the way. After several years of refinement, refinement, and more refinement, Mango Languages was born. Today, Mango delivers a wide variety of language learning capabilities to people all over the world.

We’re dedicated to helping our customers fill their growing language learning needs with the most effective and fun tools around.

  • We currently serve one in five North American libraries…about 85 million library patrons and growing every day.
  • Many federal and government organizations, including the Department of Homeland Security, The Pentagon, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Health, Marines, Airforce, Coast Guard, and Joint and Special Operations Commands all use the Mango online language learning software.
  • Our system is currently used in elementary, middle, and high schools — both public and private – charter schools, vocational schools, trade schools, home schools, community colleges and universities across North America.
Now don’t get us wrong, we’re pretty proud of these accomplishments! But we’re also just getting started. We’ve got big plans for language learning, and we intend to be a driving force in its future. We’re always on the lookout for ways to make our products better as well as new methods or technologies that can help make language learning even more fun and more convenient for our customers. After all, language learning is all we do!

It uses modern and sophisticated educational techniques to provide students with a core understanding of the Arabic language and its proper usage. The series consists of three volumes (with a fourth on the way) that guide students from one level to the next in a gradual and logical fashion. The series is unique in that it approaches grammatical issues froma functional angle.

Arabic Resources - al-hakawati.net

FYI: This website is completely in Arabic

http://www.al-hakawati.net/ is an online resource provided by the Arab Cultural Trust. The Trust works to preserve, promote and make Arabic language, culture, history and modernity accessible to all.

al-hakawati.net is an organized and searchable resource with over 300 Arab heritage books, stories of every level of Arabic proficiency, Arabic and English content on architecture, environment, society, religion, and much more. Best of all, everything on the site - primary resources in Arabic, shared research, biographies, etc - is all FREE.

Imagine a lesson on Egyptian Colloquial paired with an excerpt by Taha Hussein...or a lesson with cultural vocabulary augmented with a piece on Aleppo...

We invite you to explore the site, integrate it into the classroom, and perhaps make a contribution to the content, your suggestions or recent research articles. We look forward to your participation.

Please contact us at editor@al-hakawati.net for more info.

ArEg

 is a private project that aims to be the ultimate online school for standard Arabic and Egyptian dialect. We are providing rich, interactive study environment to help the user reach a level where the student can

  • understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation;
  • interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party;
  • produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

 
What does ArEg mean?

 
ArEg is an acronym for Arabic & Egyptian.

 
How much does it cost to use ArEg?

 
We believe that information and education should be free, this is why all our online products are free for personal use. However, to support the ArEg project, we are selling educational software products which can be used offline.
