Reviews for Mango Languages Learning

I’ve been using Mango for nearly 10 years through my library. I could not recommend it more. I compare it to Pimsleur, which I also enjoy, but with the addition of reading, and of being able to easily re-do certain pieces you had trouble with. I’ve also seen constant improvements and tweaks throughout the years, […]

Not only teaches you the language, but also gives you cultural insights as well. Also, takes time to explain why you say the phrases the way they are! I did this program when it was for PC only and loved it then, I was thrilled to see it was released as an app! What is […]

The app is very simple. I’d say it’s lacking in features. It’d be nice to at least have an option to type the answers. That being said, the app teaches really well. I feel I’ve progressed in Korean much faster than I have when I used other apps. I was legitimately surprised how fast I […]

Just an ok app. I’ve been speaking Spanish for over 20 years, and the placement always puts me at the start (level 1). But it’s because that’s not how real people speak. I came here to improve my grammar, which is lacking, but because of level 1, I get bored since I already know the […]

I’m doing the Russian course, and this seems to be much better than Duolingo, though I’ve just started using this app. I’ve got a gripe, though, about the recording feature where you match your voice with a native speaker. No matter what I do, it puts a massive pause in the beginning of my recording […]

So far, I’m really liking this app, especially since it’s basically free (thank goodness for library cards). I’m excited to see if I can learn a good amount of Japanese through this app. So far, my only major gripe is that I can’t control the autoplay speed, which is using the timer speed. The timer […]

I’ve only been using this app for a little bit, and I’ve already learned so much more than I ever did using duo lingo or going to class. Class didn’t teach me anything about speaking And duo lingo only teachers you a few words or phrases, I mean, no hate to duo lingo but this […]

I’ve used Mango for the better part of 10 years and I think it is one of the best language learning apps out there! Plus it is affordable or free if your library participates in their program. I recommend it to everyone I know who is new to learning a language because there are so […]

Only just now downloaded the app, but I am extremely pleased. The lessons are very thorough and explain the concepts well. The exercises actually challenge you instead of feeling like busy work. There are various ways to review and practise vocabulary, and you can even listen to lessons in a hands-free mode. Another huge plus […]

I’ve done maybe 3 lessons total but I love this app for Japanese! The fact it gives you practical prompts for speaking Japanese in actual conversation makes it so much better than other language apps I’ve seen and it teaches you grammar and gives you information on the culture as you learn which can be […]

Compared to when i used Duolingo, i improved much more using this app. i was able to improve my grammar and pronunciation and retained more of the information. there are plenty helpfull lessons and I’d say the subscription is worth it. especially since pronunciation is my biggest problem. if you want to learn the basics […]

I got this through my local library and it’s been super useful. It doesn’t just focus on vocab, it also gives actual explanations for things such as word order. My FAVORITE thing about it is clicking on the word in a lesson gives you the phonetic spelling of the word. Seeing that helps me figure […]

Enjoy auto play feature, the pronunciation mic, the click through quiz like learning when not on go, and automated ladies voice is natural /not robotic. In combination with varying sources of learning is an effective way to introduce a new language and assess your knowledge. Breaks down sentences into parts for learning convo. On the […]

Much less gameified than some of these other language learning apps (some of which I will not name for fear of being assassinated by a green bird). This program seems to be much more focused on actual conversational learning, at the learners own pace. The flashcards feature is also great for reinforcing vocabulary. Awesome that […]

The language learning app that makes you think before you speak. More language has stuck in my brain since I switched from Duo to Mango. Mango just makes the learning accessible. The exercises make you think on the fly and actually practice the language instead of relying on a word bank. And it’s currently free […]

It’s alright so far. the emphasis on speaking is a big plus compared to other apps but I see two major flaws. First and worst (I’m doing Spanish) they don’t teach you the article along with new words. Just “cine” instead of “el cine”. Big fail in a gendered language. Also there is no real […]

The first time I feel like I’ve made proper progress learning a language. They teach not just vocabulary, but sentence structure, speech customs and you can individually click each word to see what it corresponds to in the translated sentence to get a hang of the order. Very good app, especially if you can use […]

Free through several organizations including many public libraries (with library card), visually simple and clean, not gamified, provides useful and relevant cultural and language tips alongside regular lessons, and as far as I can tell does not use AI in any significant way, if at all. Also lets you jump to any lesson you’d like, […]

I love Mango and prefer it to other “freemium” language learning apps. For one, I was able to access full courses using my local library card, which is amazing. I feel that is much better for beginners and helps teach actual useful phrases for conversation. I really love the slides that explain culture and correct […]

I’m learning Japanese for a trip I’ll be taking. After testing other apps, Mango Languages is one of the best. There are no ads, an intuitive lesson plan and design, native speakers and a logical progression in what words you learn plus notes on Japanese grammar versus English. They have placement tests if you already […]
