Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Pictorial French Course: With Pictures, Descriptions, Conversations, And Grammar

HE aim of this book is to give the learner the power of speaking in the foreign tongue in the most natural and interesting way. The Direct Method demands a teacher, and no book can pretend to do for the learner what a teacher can do. In the following pages, therefore, the author has not hesitated to modify the Direct Method to the extent necessary to make the work intelligible to the private student. After long experience of the use of Pictures as a means of suggesting subjects for conversations, the author makes no apology for their introduction to an extent not before attempted in books for older scholars, and in order that no unnecessary aid should be relied upon, the names of the objects are detached and numbers substituted.

Although mainly written for class work, this modification makes the work specially suitable for learners studying without a teacher.

The reader will desire a word of explanation as to the intro duction of the Phonograph. The utter inadequacy of the Phonetic or imitated pronunciation method of representing strange sounds by stranger combinations of symbols, has long struck the writer as being wearisome and ineffective, to say the least. He therefore was surprised to find that there existed, ready to his hand, an automatic teacher of the most reliable kind in the Phonograph. It is unnecessary to say, at the present time, that the Phonograph is able to reproduce faithfully the most complex sounds.
