Mentor Public Library recently announced it has added a pair of new language-learning databases — Little Pim and Learn ASL — that its patrons can access for free via its website. Little Pim uses short 5-minute videos to help children learn the basics of several languages, including French, Spanish, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, German, Russian, Korean, and Portuguese, according to a news release. The database is available on the library’s Kids Resource page, mentorpl.org/kids/resources. Next, the library has added an American Sign Language database. It also uses short videos to teach signs and other tools to communicate using ASL. The database can be accessed at mentorpl.org/adults/education. Additionally, the library still offers Mango Languages — a database that offers online instruction in more than 70 languages, including Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, German, Korean, Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese), Russian, Arabic, and Hindi, the release stated. It uses an adaptive algorithm to provide a personalized language-learning experience. It can empower users to communicate with confidence when experiencing a new language and culture, the release stated. To use Mango Languages, visit mentorpl.org/databases and select “Mango Languages.” These databases are free to use with a card from any public library in Ohio. To use them, patrons will need an email address to create an account. They then can practice the language of their choice online or by using the Mango Languages app.
