It is a valuable supplementary text for serious students of Spanish at all levels, from beginning to advanced. ?Por que? also covers topics usually left to specialized books, including the evolution of Spanish, how children and adults learn Spanish, and the status of languages that co-exist with Spanish, from Catalan to Spanish sign language to the indigenous languages of Latin America.
