Excerpt from An English-German Conversation Book
The purpose of this little book is to familiarize students of German with the words and expressions that they must know, if their conversation is to rise above the level of laundry 'lists and bills of fare. Its plan and contents were dictated by my own needs during a visit to Germany, and an attendance upon some of the courses offered at the University of Berlin. It is the only book, so far as I know, that gives alternative equiva lents for ordinary expressions, and the only one that seeks to provide the student with the words and idioms most frequently heard in German University circles. (cap. Vi).
