Endangered and Indigenous Courses

The Mango team works closely with speakers of Endangered and Indigenous languages to build courses that provide native-speaker context and cultural awareness. As a sign of their commitment to preserving Endangered and Indigenous languages, a full selection of these courses are available for free to everyone. This allows native speakers to connect to and honor their heritage, and helps enthusiastic learners gain a better appreciation of the culture.
