Mango Languages/ Advanced Challenge

For our assignment, we are helping a Christian seminary student who is struggling to learn the languages of the Old and New Testament.  Once we go to Mano languages, I would encourage him to create an account, since as a Seminary student, he will be visiting this site often.  Once he creates his account, he can sign in.  Since the language he is searching for is not one of the top languages, he will click "all languages" on the task bar above or go to the left and select all languages there. As he maneuvers his way, the site will check his computer for the needed browsers required to view and listen to the languages he is studying.  The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, so he will find that and proceed.  Depending on what he studies over time, he may also use Aramaic, since the prophets Ezra, Daniel, and a few verses of Jeremiah were recorded in Aramaic. The New Testament was written in Greek, so he will locate Greek Ancient for his needs.  He may also want to look over the selections on the left.  For example, Mango labs may be beneficial for some of his studies.  He will love this site.

I am excited about Mango languages, since as "retirement" approaches, I hope to spend time on this site, and settle on a language I can learn through these self-paced language courses.
