Excerpt from The Practical Study of Languages: A Guide for Teachers and Learners
My examples are taken from a variety of languages, partly to avoid one-sidedness of treatment, partly to interest as many different classes of readers as possible.
In discussing methods, I have drawn my illustrations from those books which I know best. The time has not yet come for an historical survey and critical estimate of the vast and increasing literature of linguistic pedagogy, either of that portion of it which deals with generalities and criticisms of methods, or that still larger portion which carries out - or pro fesses to carry out - these general principles in practical text books - reading-books, grammars, text-editions, methods,' etc.
In giving warning examples of mistakes into which learners may fall, I have confined myself to those made by foreigners in speaking and writing English, for the simple reason that the mistakes made by English-speakers in the use of other languages, though in themselves equally instructive and amusing, would have no point for the majority of my readers.

Excerpt from The Practical Study of Languages: A Guide for Teachers and Learners
This book is intended as a guide to the practical study of languages. Its object is, first, to determine the general principles on which a rational method of learning foreign languages should be based, and then to consider the various modifications these general principles undergo in their application to different circumstances and different classes of learners.
The want of such a guide has long been felt. All the works on the subject that have hitherto appeared have either been short sketches, or else have only dealt with portions of the subject, such as the teaching of classical or modern languages in schools.
I have given careful attention to these questions, but have by no means confined myself to this branch of the subject. I have rather endeavoured to give a comprehensive general view of the whole field of the practical study of languages, as far as lay in my power.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is written for both practical and theoretical students of languages. It offers a critical examination of existing language learning methods as well as a comprehensive look at the best and worst approaches to language acquisition.

The author also discusses topics such as the evolution of languages, techniques for overcoming the challenges of learning dead languages and how to best tackle unwritten forms of speech. This book will be an enormous help to any student of any language, scholar or otherwise, due to the insights it provides into the theory and practice of language study.
