Hello from Mango!

Mango Languages has just announced their newest course offering: Cherokee. This new course was created in partnership with the Cherokee Nation and the Tulsa City-County Library. Thanks to this partnership, Tulsa City-County library patrons, and patrons in over 3,000 libraries nationwide, can learn to speak, read, and communicate in Cherokee from their laptops, mobile devices, and at their local library. And you can, too!

Read more about the development of the Cherokee Mango course at their blog.
