SD Library Challenge Lesson 2 - Chilton Library & Mango Languages


Chilton Library

1.       I drive a 2009 Ford Edge. According to the Chilton Library Maintenance, three things I should do every 30,000 miles are:

·         Replace engine oil and filter

·         Inspect windshield wiper spray and operation

·         Top off all fluids

2.       The most recent Technical Service Bulletin was issued on May 27, 2013 for the following concerns: transmission slipping or neutral-out, 5th gear start from stop, backup camera on in Drive, or speed control dropping out or inoperative.

3.       In the repair tab, there is a lot of information about the brakes for my car. I noticed there are not only general information sheets available, but there are instructions for removal or installation of different features that pertain to the brakes, and there are even videos demonstrating the location of certain parts. This would be very helpful for those who are trying to self-inspect their vehicle for troubles and/or repairs.

 

Mango Languages

1.       I had some trouble getting past the homepage of the language I chose to find information. I chose the Czech language, and on the cover page I learned that it is spoken by 12 million people throughout the Czech Republic. I also learned that there are many narrow medieval lanes as well as the largest castle complex in the world in Prague. My husband and I visited Prague about five years ago, so I would like to keep looking and see what else this site may have for information about some of the places in Prague and other cities in the Czech Republic.

2.       I chose the Czech language, and I was able to navigate through the first language lesson, learning to say “hello” and to introduce myself to others in Czech. I’m not sure how long I’ll remember it, but I am interested in learning more of this language from my heritage.
