Good Morning, We have trials of both on our campus right now. So far, everyone is finding Powerspeak to be the "better" solution. It incorporates more multi-media, activities and interaction. Mango offers more languages (benefit!) and has interesting cultural pieces built in, but is not keeping the students tuned in. We have Rosetta Stone in our lab, too , and these programs don't exactly match the quality of Rosetta Stone, but for a web-based application (and for the price!), Powerspeak is on top at the moment. Feel free to contact them... they will give you free trials campus wide for a few months... well worth it. Hope this helps, Kellie B.

I would love to hear your experiences, especially if you could compare it to Rosetta Stone, since it would serve the same need here. Thank you.
