Multilingual eGlossary

Glencoe's dictionary has expanded, added a language, and
changed format since we last featured it five years ago. It
now offers terms defined in these languages:
- Arabic
- Bengali
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Chinese
- English
- Haitian Creole
- Hmong
- Korean
- Russian

- Vietnamese
In addition to illustrated definitions, sound files pronounce
the terms in the glossaries of some languages, while others
require downloading PDF files.
