"This is great! I want to brush up my Italian before this summer, when I’m travelling to a meeting there, as well as my Japanese before I head there!"

"I’ve been using Mango to learn Japanese. I will be visiting Japan this summer and this program is just what I needed. It’s easy to use, informative (gives cultural information), and is quite extensive in its language offerings. I plan to learn other languages in the future. Thanks for making this software available."
