Excerpt from Elementary German: An Outline of the Grammar, With Exercises, Conversations and Readings
In the conversations, the arrangement is such that the question suggests the answer. As indicated, they can be still further extended at pleasure, what is given being rather suggestions for treatment by question and answer than any attempt at exhaustion of the theme. Ao tual communication in the new language is thus secured from the first, and the pupil enabled to realize that life which the oral use of it inspires, and to gain an impres sion of its Spirit and character.
At the end of each lesson is a short and simple read ing exercise. This is so arranged with translation or notes, that the pupil will at once see the meaning, though he may not understand the grammatical con struction. Indeed, the object of these readings is not grammar-drill, but to furnish material for practice and memorizing, and to gratify the natural eagerness of the beginner to see the language itself. A selection of longer pieces follows the lessons.
