Excerpt from A First German Book A long experience in teaching modern languages, in Europe and Ameriea, has taught me that a correct knowledge of any language, or even practieal ability in speaking and writing it, ean never be acquired without some grammatical system followed in studying it; but I have also learned that every system, however thorough and correct it may be, must be based on the pupil's eapacity and intelligence, and supported by practical exercises.

Excerpt from Werner's First German Course German is not a language that can be acquired Without steady application or Without a sound knowledge of the grammatical rules, but to plunge the pupil at once into the intricacies of the grammar is both discouraging and useless.
