Yes, if your public library offers it free, or you want conversation-based lessons in one of 73 languages.

What's free. Free through many public libraries; otherwise a free trial and the first lesson of any language.

Skip it if you want your pronunciation scored: Mango lets you record a phrase and compare it with a native speaker by ear, but nothing scores it.

How a Mango Languages lesson works

What you do
Hear a conversation, break it into phrases and repeat them, with notes on grammar and culture.
What comes back
Automatic: exercises are marked right or wrong. Voice Comparison records you saying a phrase so you can compare it with a native speaker by ear; nothing scores it. No person checks your work.
Not included
A live teacher or feedback on your pronunciation.

How a lesson works in a course app

In a course app you read or hear a short dialogue, fill in the missing word, and a grammar note explains why. Drawn to explain the kind of app, not taken from any app's screens.

Plans and prices

Each price is what the seller was charging on the day we checked it. When a plan was on sale, its regular price is shown under the sale price; a crossed-out figure that is only a comparison, such as a year at the monthly rate, is in the plan's note.
