The motivation for this book was the barrier that language learning can have. When a person learns a single word in their second language, it is like breaking down an imaginary wall, but only for a split second. As they continue to learn, this linguistic wall starts to crumble. However, they must return to their first language until they become fluent. If this day comes, the barrier will disappear, and they are now bilingual. This book is dedicated to every person who has ever attempted to learn a second language.view less
