OK, I haven't "finished" this, but I'm continuously looking into it to get answers to my questions about language acquisition. It is a nice introduction with very good explanations of concepts and theories and fun examples. The structure is useful too - there is an intro, then guided questions, and then further reading all included. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in this topic; no prior linguistics knowledge needed.
