Abstract:

Learning French from Spanish and Spanish from French provides adult English
speakers who have learned either Spanish or French as a second language with
the tools to learn the other as a third language. Research in the growing
fields of third-language acquisition and multilingualism documents how
successful language learners intuitively build on their existing knowledge as
they learn a new language. In this vein, Learning French from Spanish and
Spanish from French takes advantage of the fact that learners with
intermediate proficiency in a second language are used to thinking consciously
about language, know themselves as language learners, and can capitalize on
what they know about one language to understand the other. With chapters
conveniently organized by grammatical concept and including supplementary
resources such as exercises, parallel reading texts, and audio files, this
book will benefit students, travelers, and budding multilinguals alike.
