Once you’ve selected your course, Mango will confirm your browser’s compatibility, load your course, and the Welcome screen will display. You’re ready to begin!
Step 5: Get Talking!
Use the Course Library menu to chose a lesson-if this is your first time, start with Section 1, Lesson 1.
Use the Arrow Buttons to go forwards and backwards through the course.
Mouse over words to see their phonetic spellings, and click them to hear a slower, more articulate pronunciation.
Click the Fluency Button (an icon that looks like a speaker) to hear the word pronounced at normal speaking speed.
After the narrator reads a slide, the Voice Comparison Button (an icon that looks like an upright microphone) will appear. Click it to compare your pronunciation to that of the narrator.
Keep an eye out for Literal Meanings, Cultural Notes and Grammar Notes. They’ll help you communicate more effectively.
