First Lessons In German Classic Reprint

Excerpt from First Lessons in German The lessons that constitute this first volume were chosen from material prepared for classes during a period of eleven years (1881 - 1892) and after they were printed and used experimentally for a period of four years (january 1894-february it was thought safe to say that, in the form in which they now appear, they may be used advantageously in classes of adults and also in classes of children of over eleven years of age.

Excerpt from German Lessons This book is intended to give such knowledge of forms as will adequately prepare the student to read ordinary German. It is expected to lead up to the advanced grammar on the one hand and to the study of prose composition on the other.
