			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chelmsfordlibrary.org/blog/2008/08/21/language-learning-resources/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5337" title="languages" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/languages.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a>A couple of days ago my friend Liz called with a work related questions; Her employer wants to offer all the employees at this business the opportunity to improve their English, and she wanted suggestions. (I love that all my friends are regularly turning to their librarian friend for all sorts of questions!)</p>
<p>My first thought was her local community college. The community college usually offers a wide range of courses at an affordable price and tend to offer classes during the day and the evening, thus accommodating almost anyone&#8217;s schedule. <a href="http://www.bhcc.mass.edu/midnight-courses">Bunker Hill Community College in Boston has even started offering courses literally in the middle of the night to accommodate even the most demanding schedules</a>. The other advantage of the community college is that you don&#8217;t have to be enrolled in a full program, you can just take a couple courses here and there for life enrichment.</p>
<p>My second though was to take advantage of the resources of her local public library. As far as I can tell, all public libraries in the USA have some language learning material, either to improve your English or to learn another language. These language sections are usually well labeled, but if you can&#8217;t find them, ask the librarian. Many of these courses are tools such as language aids on CDs, videos, and workbooks, and all should circulate.</p>
<p>But this isn&#8217;t all, some public libraries offer language learning software accessible with your public library ID and password from the comfort of your home. The BPL offers me access to <a href="http://www.bpl.org/electronic/language.asp">Powerspeak and Auralog</a>, both programs that will teach me Spanish, French, Mandarin, German, Dutch, and ESOL, all for free and from the comfort of my kitchen table!</p>
<p>And if all this isn&#8217;t enough, go visit your local public library and find their language learning center. Most public libraries have computer terminals loaded with state of the art equipment and software that will help you learn a new language or improve on a language you already know.  Chances are you might even find a group of people who meet at the library to practice a language ; you can join them as well.</p>
<p>Of course, these courses might not be sophisticated enough for some people&#8217;s language needs, but they are an excellent starting point.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hace un par de días mi amiga Liz me llamo con una serie de preguntas relacionadas su trabajo; su empleador quiere ofrecerle a todos los empleados de este negocio la oportunidad de mejorar su Inglés, y ella quería sugerencias. (Me encanta que todos mis amigos regularmente llaman a su amiga bibliotecaria para todo tipo de preguntas!)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mi primera idea fue su “community college”. El community college por lo general ofrece una amplia gama de cursos a un precio asequible y tienden a ofrecer clases durante el día y la noche, horario que permite acomodar al horario de casi todos. <a href="http://www.bhcc.mass.edu/midnight-courses">Bunker Hill Community College en Boston  ha comenzado a ofrecer clases literalmente a media noche, logrando acomodar hasta los horarios más exigentes</a>. La otra ventaja del community college es que usted no tiene que estar inscrito en un programa completo, en vez puede tomar un par de cursos aquí y allá como enriquecimiento personal.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mi segunda idea es aprovechar los recursos de su biblioteca pública. Hasta donde me consta, todas las bibliotecas públicas en los EE.UU. tienen algo de material para aprendizaje de idiomas, ya sea para mejorar su inglés o para aprender otro idioma. Estas secciones lingüísticas suelen estar bien demarcadas, pero si no puede encontrarlas, solicite ayuda de un bibliotecario. Muchos de estos cursos son herramientas tales lecciones en CDs, videos y libros, y todos deben circular.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Pero esto no es todo, algunas bibliotecas públicas ofrecen software para aprender idiomas que son accesibles con su numero de la biblioteca pública y la contraseña, y son accesibles desde la comodidad de su hogar. La BPL me ofrece acceso a <a href="http://www.bpl.org/electronic/language.asp">Powerspeak y Auralog</a>, dos programas que me  enseñan español, francés, mandarín, alemán, holandés, e ingles para quienes hablan otros idiomas (ESOL), todos de forma gratuita y desde la comodidad de mi mesa de cocina!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Y si todo esto no es suficiente, vaya a visitar su biblioteca pública y busque su centro de aprendizaje de idiomas. La mayoría de las bibliotecas públicas tienen terminales de computadora cargada con la tecnología y software mas reciente que le ayudarán a aprender un nuevo idioma o mejorar una lengua que ya conoce. Incluso es probable que pueda encontrar un grupo de personas que se reúnen en la biblioteca para practicar un idioma, podría unirseles también.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Por supuesto estos cursos no siempre serán lo suficientemente sofisticados para las necesidades lingüísticas de todos, pero son un excelente punto de partida. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend Lena always says she wished she had taken advantage of my fluency in Spanish to learn the language while we were roommates, since as a doctor in the USA she is constantly running into patience who have a hard time explaining their medical needs in English. Well I may not be in the same city any longer, but I just found a great resource that can help her all the same.</p>
<p><a href="http://medicalspanishpodcast.com/">Medical Spanish Podcasts</a> offers a great selection of audio files covering a variety of medical topics, and general vocabulary that will be useful in the field. Each topic offers several sections for easy reviewing and which become increasingly more advanced. Some of the topics covered recently include intestinal worms, STDs, body parts, and Swine Flu.</p>
<p>You can find a list of recent podcasts <a href="http://medicalspanishpodcast.com/medical_spanish">here</a>, and you can follow them through RSS. From the list you can either listed to the podcasts right away, or click on the title of the podcasts to get a list of vocabulary associated with the topic. Each entry offers several key phrases on the topic and then gives you a couple short skits illustrating how these phrases could come up.</p>
<p>The woman who does the Spanish version of these podcast has a weird accent; I presume she is not a native Spanish speaker, but none the less her Spanish grammar is correct. All in all a good resource, although I hope medical professionals will not assume that learning a few phrases of Spanish will replace a professional translator.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mi amiga Lena siempre dice que ojala hubiese aprovechado mi dominio del español para aprender el idioma mientras fuimos compañeros de casa, ya que como doctora en los EEUU constantemente encuentra pacientes que tienen dificultad al explicar sus necesidades médicas en Inglés. Puede ser que ya no viva en la misma ciudad, pero he encontrado un gran recurso que de todos modos le puede ayudar.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://medicalspanishpodcast.com/">Spanish Medical Podcasts</a> ofrece una gran selección de archivos de audio que cubren una variedad de temas médicos, y el vocabulario general que será útil en el campo. Cada tema ofrece varias secciones para facilitar la revisión y que se vuelven cada vez más avanzados. Algunos de los temas abordados recientemente son los gusanos intestinales, enfermedades de transmisión sexual, partes del cuerpo, y la gripe porcina.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Usted puede encontrar una lista de podcasts reciente <a href="http://medicalspanishpodcast.com/medical_spanish">aquí</a>, y los podrá seguir a través de  un RSS. Desde la lista podrá escuchar los podcasts de inmediato, o hacer clic sobre el título para obtener una lista de vocabulario relacionado con el tema. Cada entrada ofrece varias frases clave sobre el tema y luego le da un par de escenarios cortos que ilustran cómo estas frases pueden surgir.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La mujer que narra la parte en español de estos podcast tiene un acento raro, supongo que no es alguien quien se haya criado hablando español, sin embargo, su gramática en español es correcta. En conjunto es un buen recurso, aunque espero que los profesionales médicos no asuman que el aprendizaje de algunas frases en español podrán sustituir a un traductor profesional. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca/">Mi Vida Loca</a> is a web based tutorial created by the BBC to help you learn Spanish. The lessons consist mainly of videos that will teach you key phrases for specific situations. The videos include a local host who takes the viewer out. During the duration of the video can turn the subtitles, in English and Spanish, on or off. At various points in the scene you are expected to make decisions, and say out loud the correct phrase. The video will wait until you make your choice.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.mla.org/">MLA</a> created a <a href="http://www.mla.org/map_main">database that maps out languages in the USA</a> with information originating from the 2000 census. The site allows you to &#8220;build&#8221; maps according to language and which reflect information of the entire country, or each individual state. You can chart out information on these maps by percentages, counties, or zip code divisions. The site also allows you to compare the prominence of two languages to each other.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El <a href="http://www.mla.org/">MLA</a> ha creado una <a href="http://www.mla.org/map_main">base de datos que traza el uso de varios idiomas en los EE.UU.</a> con la información proveniente del censo del 2000. El sitio le permite &#8220;construir&#8221; mapas de acuerdo  al idioma y que reflejan la información de todo el país, o cada estado. Se puede trazar la información sobre estos mapas en porcentajes, condados o divisiones de código postal. El sitio también permite comparar la importancia entre lenguas.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">On a <a href="http://www.mla.org/map_data">separate part</a> of this site you can also look up information by city, zip code, year.

<p><span style="color: #888888;">En <a href="http://www.mla.org/map_data">otra parte del sitio</a> también puede buscar información por ciudad, código postal, y año.

<p><span style="color: #000000;">The site also provides you with some basic language facts.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El sitio también le proporciona algunos datos básicos sobre el uso de varios idiomas en EE.UU.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes is seems like all my friends are trying to learn or improve their Spanish, which I love, and encourage as much as I can. So here&#8217;s a tool that might help you all!</p>
<p><a href="http://elcastellano.org/">El Castellano.org</a> is a site that tries to gather web resources that will aid in learning Spanish, both the European and Latin American versions of it. The site offers various <a href="http://elcastellano.org/diccio.html">dictionaries</a>, including one specialized in <a href="http://elcastellano.org/miyara/">Argentine Spanish</a> and another for <a href="http://elcastellano.org/dbc/">botany</a>. There are also a couple sections that explain certain parts of the language where new learners might easily be confused; for example the difference between &#8220;dentro&#8221; and &#8220;adentro&#8221;. It has a number of stories related to the language&#8217;s history, including information on <a href="http://www.antoniodenebrija.org/">Nebrija</a>, author of the first text of Spanish language grammar (1492) and the first Spanish language dictionary (1495).</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also find links to other <a href="http://elcastellano.org/ns/recomendamos.html">websites this group recommends</a>, and links to <a href="http://www.elcastellano.org/radios.html">Spanish language radio stations around the world</a>, so you can start educating your ears. There’s a page titled <a href="http://www.elcastellano.org/ns/edicion/spanishpoint/2008/">Spanishpoint</a> where you&#8217;ll find links to (mostly) stories about the language around the world.  Some of the current entries include a discussion about the use of a &#8220;neutral&#8221; version of the language that can be used across all of the Spanish speaking world, and an article on the Spanish spoken by Jews in Spain back in the 15th century. You&#8217;ll also find a lot of other random stories there.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the site was established by a group of Spanish speaking people from around the world, having members in Argentina, Spain, Uruguay, and Brazil.</p>
<p>And a few stats to encourage you to learn more Spanish;</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_Spanish_is_an_official_language">Spanish is the official language of 21 countries around the globe</a>.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s an oficial language to the <a href="http://www.un.org/spanish/">UN</a>, the <a href="http://europa.eu/index_es.htm">EU</a>, the <a href="http://www.oas.org/main/spanish/">OAS</a>, and <a href="http://www.tlcanhoy.org/Default_es.asp">NAFTA</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.sispain.org/english/language/worldwid.html">Spanish is the 4th language in the world in terms of number of speakers, with 330 million of us</a>.</li>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">A veces me parece que todos mis amigos están tratando de aprender o mejorar su español, cosa que me encanta, y promuevo cada vez que puedo. Así que aquí hay una herramienta que les podrá ayudar.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://elcastellano.org/">El Castellano.org</a> es un sitio que trata de reunir recursos de la Web que ayuda en el aprendizaje del español, tanto el de Europa y como el de América Latina. El sitio ofrece varios <a href="http://elcastellano.org/diccio.html">diccionarios</a>, entre ellos uno especializado en <a href="http://elcastellano.org/miyara/">español argentino</a> y otro de <a href="http://elcastellano.org/dbc/">botánica</a>. También hay un par de secciones que explican ciertas partes de la lengua que los nuevos alumnos a veces confunden fácilmente; por ejemplo la diferencia entre &#8220;dentro&#8221; y &#8220;adentro&#8221;. Además encontrara una serie de historias relacionadas con la historia lengua, incluyendo información sobre <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_de_Nebrija">Nebrija</a>, autor del primer texto de la gramática de la lengua española (1492) y el primer diccionario de español (1495).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">También encontrará enlaces a <a href="http://elcastellano.org/ns/recomendamos.html">otros sitios web de este grupo recomienda</a>, y <a href="http://www.elcastellano.org/radios.html">enlaces a emisoras de radio en español en todo el mundo</a>, para que puedas empezar a educar a sus oídos. Hay una página titulada <a href="http://www.elcastellano.org/ns/edicion/spanishpoint/2008/">Spanishpoint</a> donde encontrará enlaces a (la mayoría) historias acerca de la lengua en todo el mundo. Algunas de las entradas actuales incluyen una discusión sobre el uso de un español &#8220;neutral&#8221; que se puede utilizar en todo país de habla hispana, y un artículo sobre el español hablado por los judíos en España en el siglo 15. También encontrará un montón de otras historias allí.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Curiosamente, el sitio fue creado por un grupo de personas de habla hispana de todo el mundo, incluyendo miembros en Argentina, España, Uruguay y Brasil.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Y algunas estadísticas para animarle a aprender más español; </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_Spanish_is_an_official_language">El español es el idioma oficial de 21 países de todo el mundo</a>.</span></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="WorldLinQ" href="http://www.worldlinq.org/">WorldLinQ</a> is a site created at <a title="Queens Public Library" href="http://www.queenslibrary.org/">Queens Public Library</a> which gathers a wide range of useful websites in a variety of different languages. The site offered link to public websites offering information on news, education, recreation, health, science, and a variety of other topics. The site connection you to relevant links in a multitude of languages, each entry annotated both in the original language and in English. Do note that because each language entry links to relevant resources in the corresponding language, entries vary in content.</p>
<p>The site was created about 10 years ago with initial funding from At&amp;T, and was devised as an non-traditional way of reaching out to the very diverse library community of Queens borough. Currently it functions in 15 different languages, including <a title="worldlinq spanish" href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=8">Spanish</a>, <a title="worldlinq italian" href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=19">Italian</a>, <a title="worldlinq romanian" href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=12">Romanian</a>, and <a title="worldlinq french" href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=4">French</a>, just to name a few. But this ambitious project hopes to one day function on all 150+ languages in use in the Queens Public Library community. If you are fluent in a language not yet on the site,  you may consider offering your help with gathering useful links and providing the basica annotations needed.</p>
<p>Access to <a title="worldlinq" href="http://www.worldlinq.org/">WorldLinQ</a> and <a title="Queens Public Library" href="http://www.queenslibrary.org/">Queens Public Library</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.worldlinq.org/">WorldLinQ</a> es un sitio web creado por la <a href="http://www.queenslibrary.org/index.aspx?page_nm=Spanish">Biblioteca Pública de Queen</a> (NY) que reúne una gran variedad de recursos útiles en una cantidad de idiomas. La página ofrece enlaces a sitios que ofrecen información sobre las noticias actuales, educación, recreación, salud, las ciencias, y otra cantidad de temas. El sitio lo conectara a una cantidad de recursos útiles en una multitud de idiomas, todos anotados tanto en su idioma original como en ingles. Por favor note que debajo de cada página de un idioma encontrara recursos apropiados a ese idioma, por lo tanto varían entre un idioma y otro. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El sitio fue creado hace ya 10 años con fundación inicial de AT&amp;T, y con la idea de crear una forma poco tradicional de conectarse con la comunidad de <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens">Queens</a>. Actualmente WorldLinQ funciona en 15 idiomas, incluyendo <a href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=8">español</a>, <a href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=19">italiano</a>, <a href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=12">rumano</a>, y <a href="http://www.worldlinq.org/subject.asp?id=4">francés</a>, entre muchos otros. Lo increíble es que este ambicioso proyecto espera algún día funcionar en todos los 150+ idiomas que se usan a diario en la Biblioteca Pública de Queens! Si de casualidad usted sabe algún idioma que todavía no tenga pagina, de pronto le interese ofrecer su ayuda encontrando enlaces relevantes, y proporcionando las anotaciones necesarias.</span></p>
