According to the last census, over one and a half million people in the United States do not speak any English. This number is expected to rise as more states abandon bilingual education and outreach programs in Spanish-speaking communities. Using what the readers already know about their native language, The Everything® Inglés Book provides lessons in grammar, usage, pronunciation, and vocabulary to help them achieve a proficiency in English and better communicate at home and in the workplace. Written with the new American in mind, The Everything® Inglés Book prepares readers for life in the United States and provides them with the skills necessary to survive and thrive in the English-speaking world. N. L. Calzada (Piscataway, NJ) is a Cuban-American author and the director of the Bloomfield College Library in New Jersey. Fluent in both Spanish and English, Mr. Calzada is also a historian specializing in Cuban history and Latino influence in the Americas.
