Slogs a bit in the middle, but overall deeply fascinating.

I've read this when learning German and when learning Spanish. Not sure why people react so negatively to it– it's supposed to be “See Spot Run” for learners of a foreign language. Of course it's not especially clever!

It literally took me years of searching to figure out what book this was! Easily one of my all-time favorite books from childhood.

Fantastic memoir, but be warned that there were some formatting issues in my paperback print copy. Strongly recommended.

An excellent lay introduction. I'll be stealing some of these analogies for my Physics II class...
