Second French Exercise Book Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Second French Exercise Book I shall feel truly thankful for any criticisms and com ments which may be addressed to me with the View of rendering both the grammar and the two exercise books more useful to the young. The way in which I may make use of such communications will, I hope, be the best proof of my gratitude, and of the fact that I am more anxious to be taught and to teach what is right, than to conceal the fact that I am liable to make mistakes.

Excerpt from The Essentials of French Grammar School classes should, in general, follow the sequence of lessons indicated just below the chapter headings. As 79 of the 185 chapters are used twice (the most important paradigms and rules being te viewed), there are in all 264 lessons. Classes that have four recitations a week for 33 weeks will thus be provided with a full two years' course. Classes that have only three periods a week can take Lessons 1-99 the first year, and Lessons 100-198 the second, Lessons 199-264 being omitted altogether or reserved for a third year. Either the first 99 or the first I 32 lessons make a well rounded first year's course, covering all that is absolutely indispensable in French grammar. In schools where there are more than four or less than three recitations a week, other arrangements of the lessons can be made. It will, indeed, Often be found advisable to deviate in various ways from the suggested program: for instance, in classical schools two lessons can frequently be taken at a time; while classes that have only one year of French can, if necessary, omit the first fifteen chapters, and learn pro nunciation in connection with their reading. The French Text and all the paradigms and examples contained in a lesson should, in any case, be pronounced by the pupils after the teacher, before the lesson is pre pared. When a lesson consists of a review of preceding chapters, the French texts and the exercises of those chapters are not included in the lesson. The Supplementary Exercises do not form an essential part of the course: they are intended for review, for use in alternate years, and for classes that are able to spend a great deal of time on grammar. The lessons from no. 28 on are so constructed as to require only a small amount of study, in order that pupils may have plenty of time to devote to the preparation of translation.

Excerpt from Macmillan's Progressive French Course: II Second Tear, Containing an Elementary Grammar, With Copious Exercise, Notes, and Vocabularies But in order to enable even very young beginners to grapple with these thorny points of French Grammar, there will be found intercalated in every lesson, under the head of Drill, a set of short and easy sentences to be used by way of practice, preparatory to the more elaborate sentences in the Exercises. Finally, numerous Appendices have been added for the sake of reference, and the Vocabularies have been entirely rewritten, with a view to afford the student every opportunity of improving his phraseology.

Excerpt from Elementary French: The Essentials of French Grammar With Exercises This text-book for beginners is an outgrowth of Foundations of Franck. When a revision of this was first undertaken, the purpose was to adapt it to a wider range of use by the insertion of a greater variety of exercises and the addition of vocabularies. So many incidental alterations and additions have attended the work that an entirely new book has resulted. However, the logical arrangement of topics, and the clearness and simplicity of statement that characterized the earlier volume, are every where retained. At the present time the ideas of American teachers are begin ning to be fairly in accord touching the content of the elementary course in French. To meet the demands of this course is the aim of this book, as its title indicates, and it seeks to accomplish little more. It does endeavor, nevertheless, by the character and quantity of material presented, to secure sufficient flexibility to meet, as fully as may be, the diverse conditions that the American educational system presents. Such variations appear in the time allowed by the curriculum, the maturity of the class, the imme diate aim of the work, and the method of the teacher. The exer cises will readily lend themselves to the molding hand of. The instructor who strives to impart a practical command of the living language. The book is equally well adapted to serve in a second ary school and to constitute the nucleus of the first year's work in a college course that does not demand French for entrance. It can be completed in a year and leave ample time for the reading of easy French texts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Excerpt from French Course, Second Year This "Second Course," like the First, is based on the following principles, the soundness of which has been proved by years of practical experience: - (1) A living language must be heard before being seen. (2) The actions, persons, objects, scenes described must be imagined; i.e. seen in the mind, while the teacher speaks. (3) Every sentence contains a basic word (generally the verb) which should be learnt first. (4) Sentences are much more easily remembered if they are learnt in their logical succession. (5) Subjective sentences (expressing thoughts, feelings, judgments, etc.) are best learnt by oral teaching in the form of conversation. Directions are given on pages 1 to 4 of the First Course for the rational teaching and study of the exercises, verbs, and conversation sentences. In addition to the Exercises and Conversation sentences, rules of grammar are given, in French as well as in English, and should be learnt in French.

Excerpt from A Compendious French Grammar: In Two Independent Parts (Introductory and Advanced) If this grammar be deemed an effort in the right direction, and can contribute, in its humble way, towards promoting true educational interests, which should consider not only the how, but also the why, and aim at developing critical discernment rather than versatility, its ambition will be amply fulfilled.
