Overview
Mango Languages is a language-learning company whose app offers 70+ languages and dialects, plus English for speakers of more than 20 other languages. Its methodology, Intuitive Language Construction™, teaches speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture together within real conversations. The company launched in August 2007, funded by a web development company two brothers had built in Detroit, and rebuilt its product by 2009 around a course-construction pipeline that turns native-speaker recordings into full courses.
History
Mango launched in August 2007, paid for by a web development company two brothers had built in Detroit. Mike Teshuba wrote the original product, Ryan Whalen designed the interface it ran on, and Mike Goulas hand-picked the native speakers who recorded the first courses. By 2009 they had rebuilt it. The second launch ran on a course-construction pipeline that turned native-speaker recordings into full courses at pace, which is how a company this size ended up offering 70+ languages and dialects, and why they still build them with linguists and native speakers instead of licensing a textbook.
