A few weeks ago, I even asked my professor the cultural origins of Spanish and she could not give me much of any information. That infuriated me, because I see the cultural aspects and the origin story of language to be more important than simply being able to speak the language itself. Also, it makes it easier to care about learning if I feel more connected with the culture. Very interesting article here, and I'm sure many people could learn from it as I did!
