About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. The author's practical experience in teaching his mother-tongue to foreigners, warrants him fully in making this assertion.
In a short time the ear becomes so familiarized with the strange accents, that the teacher is understood, the tongue at the same time acquiring a fluency, to be attained by none of the other methods. It is impossible to conceive a more practical me thod of acquiring the art of speaking German, than for the pupil to be questioned in German by his teacher on subjects already familiar to him by translation, and then to endeavour to give a fitting reply. An Exercise for translation into German comes next: the lesson being concluded by an easy and familiar Conversation, re-embodying the matter introduced in the previous exercises. The book is divided into Lessons, each complete in itself, and containing in systematic arrangement a portion of the grammar, followed by a German Rea exercise in which the different forms are applied the whole sen tenoes. Excerpt from German Conversation-Grammar: New and Practical Method of Learning the German Language This 'german conversation-grammar' combines the grammatical and logical exposition of the German language with the constant application of the different forms and rules to writing and speaking.
