Testimonials:
“I’m planning a once in a lifetime trip to Italy this summer. I wanted to learn some basic phrases, but books weren’t very helpful because I couldn’t tell how to pronounce the words. I used my library card to sign up for Mango. They have online language lessons where a native speaker says the words for you to hear how they’re pronounced. Grazie!”
