Reseña del editor
The great want of an American in travelling abroad is not so much the atility to speak the language of the country which he may visit, as to understand it when spoken hythe natives. He may fancy that hia knowledge of the written language will stand him in, good stead for purposes of husiues Bor social intercourse, hut his firat attempt at practical conversation will undeceive him. He may manage to express himself in decent French or German, hut the responses of his interlocutor will be as unintelligible as Sanscrit or Choctaw. He haa learned the language by the eye, but not by the ear. The same words which he reads and translates at sight fail to be recognized when they fall from the lips.
