New Language Learning Website!

Check out Mango, a new language teaching tool. There are 100 lessons for the French course and many language courses, including English for ESL learners. Just sign up for a free account and you can view the courses. The lessons are in the form of slideshows with audio. It would be a great tool for the beginning levels to embed into lessons, but also a good review for the upper levels as supplementary activities. I am going to link it off of my Moodle pages for extra practice, and I may use some of the later lessons as I teach Units in my textbooks.

Here's the URL: http://www.trymango.com/

Here's a picture of a slide in the French course:
