Excerpt from First German Composition
The story of First German Composition can be told in a few words. I could not find for the teaching of elementary German composition a book that contained enough very simple material. So I made one.
One reason, I think, that composition has not been taught earlier, for a longer period, and better in our high schools is, that teachers have realized the book for their purpose did not exist. I would not have these words construed to mean that there are not a number of excellent composition-manuals in the field - I say merely that in my opinion they do not offer a goodly amount of extremely simple, natural, and concrete material.
I shall not be content unless First German Composition is found to be a most practical book for use during the second year of German in secondary schools, even in those which have only a two years' course. It is not "graded" in the sense that it begins with easy words and phrases and ends with long puzzle-sentences which illustrate hanging participial constructions, the pluperfect subjunctive, and the gerundive. First German Composition is easy at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. It aims to give the student constant opportunity to write, and write, and write the sort of simple idiomatic German that he must know before he can work out long puzzles in philosophical diction. It is "practice that makes perfect" and to practise a thing means to do it over and over again - and then yet again.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides ample material for students as they begin formal coursework in writing German. It offers a fresh take on the language, using stories, anecdotes, and scenarios to make the learning process more enjoyable and less mechanical. The author argues that this conversational approach was neglected in early 20th-century German instruction, with dire results. By presenting extensive and varied practice exercises, this book seeks to correct that error. Moreover, this book is a trove of timeless knowledge about German grammar. The author was a distinguished scholar of Germanic languages and literary history and a proponent of language instruction methods that favor usage over memorization and practice over explanation. This book reflects his deep understanding of German and the challenges students face in acquiring it. This book can serve as a valuable supplement to any German language textbook, whether in the classroom or for independent learners. With the assumption that students have gained basic familiarity with German grammar and vocabulary, this book provides a structured and engaging pathway towards fluency in both spoken and written German. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
