Fortunately whether you are looking for Mandarin Chinese, ASL, Spanish or something else entirely there are programs out there to help you teach your child, even if you have never taken a foreign language yourself. Here are some great choices to help you get started!

Mango Languages
Mango Language’s Homeschool Edition is helping homeschool parents grow students brighter with a fun and engaging new approach to language learning. After just one lesson, it’s delightful to see students excited over how quickly they comprehend new words and phrases in a foreign language.
With over 60 world languages to choose from online and PDF-curriculum outlines, homeschool parents have just as much fun following along and learning, too. And keeping up with students’ progress tracking and grades is a breeze with Mango’s assessment portal, the one-stop shop that monitors all activity and reports back.
Mango was built by professional linguists and works with a unique methodology, which they consider to be the four main components of language learning–grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture.
Aside from the company’s bright colors and friendly attitude, Mango sets itself apart with its love for keeping up a strong connection and dedication to supporting homeschool educators.
All Mango users are encouraged to reach out at 877-626-4611 or to support@mangolanguages.com with questions, comments, and product feedback. Improvement suggestions are always more than welcome, too!
