Hossfeld S New Practical Method For Learning The French Language

Excerpt from Hossfeld's New Practical Method for Learning the French Language It is by the careful translation of this Exercise, as well as by the reading and learning by heart of the Conversations and the Dialogues, that the student will become acquainted with the idioms of the French Language. Lists of such idioms are dry and very soon forgotten by the pupil but when framed in useful conversations or pleasant anecdotes, they make a stronger im pression on the mind and remain fixed in the memory. We specially recommend to masters the use of the Keys, printed on single leaves of strong paper - one lesson on each leaf. One of these leaves is to be given to each pupil after the exercises have been worked out, so that he may himself see and correct the mistakes (if any) he has made. This having been done, the corrected exercises and the Key should be returned to the master for revision. The correction by the pupil himself has been proved to be one of the most successful features of this method it obliges the pupil to go a second time over his work, and by this means the mistakes he has made are vividly brought before him. As a result, the same mistakes are less likely to recur, and the masters will be spared a long, tedious, and relatively fruitless work.
