Babel: Around the World in Twenty Languages - by Gaston Dorren

This book took a while to read, partly because I was busy, but mainly because it contains so much information. As I had hoped, it was fascinating and I have learned so much. As I am studying Spanish, that chapter got my particular attention. At last I have some explanation as to why there are two verbs used as “to be”; it turns out that we have that in English too, but I have never noticed. This book is perfect for the amateur language nerd.
