Ever wanted to learn to talk like a pirate?  You’re in luck!  Mango Languages offers a language course in Pirate!

Follow these five easy steps to get started speaking Pirate:

• Go to Mango Languages (if you’re off-campus, you will need to log-in with your CPCC Login at this point)

• Create an account or simply log-in, if you already have one. (This account is different from your CPCC Login.)

• After logging in, select Courses from the menu.

• Choose Pirate from the menu listing of languages.

• Click Launch to begin learning Pirate!

(And remember, once International Talk Like a Pirate Day is over, you can still use Mango Languages to learn a new language, such as French or Spanish.)

Mango Pirate is also available to library patrons via the Mango Mobile Library Edition smartphone apps.
