Lesson 2 Mango Languages

1. Continuing with the same language/country as in previous questions; I chose the language of Poland, Polish. Before clicking on Launch, I learned that 40 million people speak Polish. Many Americans claim they have a "little" Polish heritage and the influence of the Polish culture can be seen throughout the United States.

2.  Ok this really was kind of fun. I liked that you could choose from ten different chapters depending on what you needed. For example, I went through the first lesson for "Greetings, Gratitude and Goodbyes". It was very repetitive and gave verbal praise throughout the lesson. There were cultural notes and grammar notes that helped understand the proper use of words and gave the user more background. If you clicked on a word, you could see the pronunciation of the word and hear it at the same time. You could hear it over and over again if you wish. After I finished the first lesson, I wanted to go back to the main menu but I was unable to find a place to do that. I had to click on the back button which took me back to the first page after you clicked a country (where you would click Launch). So that would be one thing I didn't like. I remember as a child my grandparents speaking Polish in the kitchen when they thought we (the grandkids) weren't listening. I remember one word which I thought meant pig. I typed in pig and translated it and it came up to a word that was similar to what I thought I remembered! That was cool. I couldn't hear it though, which was a bummer.
