Mango Languages is an American online language-learning website and mobile app based in Farmington Hills, Michigan for academic institutions, libraries, corporations, government agencies, and individuals.[1][2]
History
Jason Teshuba, Mike Teshuba, Ryan Whalen and Mike Goulas founded the service in 2007.[1] Jason Teshuba serves as the CEO of Mango Languages.[3][4]
As of April 2019, Mango Languages offers 71 language courses. Additionally, the service offers English lessons in 17 languages and specialty courses to teach cultural differences.[5]
Mango Languages employs organic language acquisition and emphasizes learning grammatical principles through realistic conversations; features include interactive lessons, spaced repetition, reinforcement exercises, color-coded translations, video content, and Google Translate integration.[6] Another feature allows users to record their pronunciation and compare a visual image of its waveform to that of a native speaker's.[7][8] Courses are accessible from a web browser or an app, and progress can be synced across devices.[6][9]
In 2013, Mango Languages earned $7.9 million in revenue.[1] In June 2019, Mango launched a new brand identity and released “major advancements to its platform,” including “new personalized, adaptive, conversation-based lessons in over 70 languages for web, iOS, and Android.”[10] Mango Languages offers licenses for its software to libraries, schools and other institutions.
