Non-English Speakers in the US

Ever wondered how many people don’t speak English at home in the US? I did, so I pulled some stats from www.census.gov and came up with my own infographic.

Big language communities

Languages spoken by over one million people at home in the US (2007):

Spanish:              34.5 million

Chinese:              2.46 million

French:                1.98 million                 (includes Patois, Cajun, Creole)

Tagalog:              1.48 million

Vietnamese:       1.2 million

German:              1.1 million

Korean:               1.06 million

Integration the into English-speaking world

Languages spoken by fewer people in the US in 2007, compared to 1980:

Italian

German

Complete and Incomplete Sentences

There's a new activity up on RoadToGrammar Jr today.

"Understanding Complete Sentences" should be suitable for young learners, in the K-2 range or slightly older if they have English as their second language.

As with all activities on Road to Grammar, it is presented in a straightforward and clear manner. There are two different activities on the topic, answers are always available and there are six pages of notes.

It's formatted to work nicely on a smartboard in the class.
