Spanish In Brazil: Language Policy, Business, And Cultural Propaganda, José Del Valle Jan 2006

Spanish In Brazil: Language Policy, Business, And Cultural Propaganda, José Del Valle

In addition, Jamaicans, Hispanics of Mexican origin who spoke English as their L2, and Hispanics speaking Spanish served as control groups. Results showed that the …
