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. A Mango membership can be free at local libraries, or a membership costs $7.99 per month for one language or $17.99 per month for access to all 71 languages.

## History

Jason Teshuba, Mike Teshuba, Ryan Whalen and Mike Goulas founded the service in 2007. Jason Teshuba serves as the CEO of Mango Languages.

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.

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. Another feature allows users to record their pronunciation and compare a visual image of its waveform to that of a native speaker's. Courses are accessible from a web browser or an app, and progress can be synced across devices.

In 2013, Mango Languages earned $7.9 million in revenue. 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.” Mango Languages offers licenses for its software to libraries, schools and other institutions.
