Sinopsis

Excerpt from Modern German Reader, Vol. 1: A Graduated Collection of Prose Extracts From Modern German Writers; With English Notes, a Grammatical Appendix and a Complete Vocabulary

IN preparing the present volume, which forms the First Part of my Modern German Reader,' I have been guided by two principles. The first is, that the Reading Book should be used from the first day of instruction. It is now generally admitted that the method which requires a full knowledge of Grammar, or at least of the accidence of the particular language, before proceeding to a 'construing book,' not only forms an impediment to the speedy and practical acquisition of languages, but is also apt to impart to the Pupils a distaste for the foreign idiom, before they have got any insight into its structure and spirit. Theory and practice must go hand in hand and it is through this combination alone that the language becomes interesting and alive, as it were, or to speak with Friedrich Jakobs, 'the dry skeleton of paradigms assumes shape and body.'
