Why it works
What you are actually buying
Three things a homeschool parent tends to ask before committing a year of language study to a piece of software: is there enough of it, can I tell whether it is working, and has anyone checked.
Enough material for years, not weeks
500+ lessons
Our most popular courses include more than 500 lessons each, enough material to support several years of language study. Lessons mix vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and culture so learners build practical conversation skills, not just memorization.
Progress you can actually report
ACTFL · CEFR
The Mango Proficiency Scale aligns with the standards set by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Students who complete a Mango course can reach Intermediate-High on the ACTFL scale, or B1 on the CEFR scale.
Independently studied
Two universities
Independent studies conducted by Queens College (New York) and the University of South Carolina have assessed Mango's learning system, measuring both how effectively students learn and how well they perform on college placement tests after using Mango.
