Resources for Learning Foreign Languages

The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) is one of the most beloved books existing on this planet by both children and adults alike. Luckily for language learners, it’s one of the most translated as well. With over one-hundred translations, this book is perfect for creating your own dual-language student reader.

Unfortunately, obtaining The Little Prince can be a slow process for most languages in the United States. The easiest places to obtain the book are the slowest to order (special orders/general slowness). However, if you want a good student-level book that you can obtain in many, many languages, The Little Prince is a great choice.

You can purchase The Little Prince from WorldLanguage.com and Multilingual Books from TLP: Page 1 and TLP: Page 2. Beware of ridiculously slow orders (and high prices, probably due to import costs).

Because of the slowness and high prices, I have compiled a list of translations that you can purchase from Amazon directly (note that I have only included items that are in stock). The list is small, but useful for many.

Spanish is difficult.

The amount of language learning resources available for Spanish is amazing. Spanish is thought to be one of the easier languages of the world to learn and maybe that’s due to the abundance of language learning material for Spanish. It’s just confusing for me and I’m sure for others too, making this resource all the more worth it. I believe I’ll be spending more time sifting through and reviewing Spanish resources than I will actually learning the language.

The first draft of the Spanish language learning resource page is complete. It’s without descriptions of each resource and is missing content in a few sections, but it will all come together soon.

Over the weekend I spent a good deal of time researching resources for Brazilian Portuguese. Fifteen hours later and I have something respectable. In these fifteen hours, I came up with a decent formula for categorizing each resource: follow what Barry Farber discusses in How to Learn Any Language.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the almost complete Brazilian-Portuguese language page as much as I enjoyed creating it.
