Languages of the Americas: Spanish, English, French, Portuguese eBook

Languages of the Americas is an informative eBook exploring the major languages spoken across North, Central, and South America. It focuses on Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese - languages spoken by over 850 million people. This resource originated when the author, Paul Rallion, was helping his daughter build her French vocabulary. As they added more French words alongside their English and Spanish translations, Rallion had the idea to expand the material into a full comparative guide. The text examines the linguistic diversity across the Americas both before and after European colonization. It also incorporates some of Rallion's personal language learning experiences growing up multilingual in El Salvador and Brazil. Teachers can use this unique resource to enrich classroom language instruction or for independent student reading.
