Florida, known for its vibrant and diverse culture, offers a unique opportunity for students to explore a variety of languages and traditions. We designed our state-of-the-art software to help your students communicate effectively and interact with cultural competence in the Sunshine State’s multilingual communities, and worldwide.

Our software incorporates cultural insights, ensuring that your students’ learning experience is not only linguistically enriching but also fosters a deeper understanding of the state’s traditions and values.
Our platform provides a wide range of resources, including interactive lessons, quizzes, and more, to make language learning fun and accessible for students of all ages and abilities.

Funding
As of June 2023, Florida still has nearly $3.9 Billion in ARP ESSER funds remaining that may be obligated through 9/30/2024!
Schools can use funds for all allowable uses under ESSA, including improving access to foreign language instruction and implementing innovative blended learning projects such as Mango. This can be part of the district’s summer or extended learning program.
Schools can use funds to provide a well-rounded education, including summer programming to help with learning loss and also to improve the effective use of technology.
Schools may also be able to transfer funds to Title Formula programs, including Title IV.
Florida Standards for World Languages
Mango’s most popular courses (Spanish (Latin American), French, Italian, Japanese, German, and Mandarin Chinese) compare favorably with nationally recognized World Language standards, such as ACTFL’s World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.
In fact, Mango is 98% of the World Languages Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Novice and Intermediate levels (Levels 1-4). This favorable alignment allows educators to clearly identify learners’ skill levels and track their achievements as they pass through the Mango learning system.
Currently, Mango can offer content up to the equivalent of ACTFL’s Intermediate High level for these courses, which means that course content can be used to cover Level 1–4 classes in most of the languages typically offered in middle school and high school world language departments.
Mango Classroom Resources
Mango Classroom by Mango Languages is the award-winning language-learning resource crafted exclusively for student engagement and instructor support, empowering learners to start speaking another language with confidence.
Classroom Guides contain chapter Lesson Plans for teachers and Student Workbooks that supplement our world language curricula in our most popular K-12 language courses with targeted vocabulary, grammar, and cultural activities to help reinforce chapter material, build students’ confidence in the language, and develop their fluency.

As an ESL Teacher Leader, I encourage teachers and students to use Mango Languages as a tool for language learning. I think that Mango is very intuitive and user-friendly. I appreciate the attention to pronunciation and the cultural notes that are often lacking in other language programs. Mango offers coursework in over 70 languages, and that is especially important to our diverse learners in Milwaukee Public Schools. I highly recommend Mango Languages.
