A New Elementary Course in the German Language: For the Use of Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A New Elementary Course in the German Language: For the Use of Schools
One language contains all the general principles of every other. Comparative philology - a new science - is entirely changing the mode of teaching languages. It shows that the true method of acquiring a foreign tongue is by compar ing it with the one already known. The aim of this work is to make a practical application of the recent improvements in this direction.
The pupil is supposed to be familiar with the English language. Its grammar being Teutonic or German, no at tempt is made to teach what should properly be studied in the native tongue. The German and English are brought side by side, their differences and affinities compared, and that point taught first which will open to the learner the broadest field.
A large majority of the German words may be formed from the English by a regular system of consonant changes. For this reason, the chief study will be the forms of words. The same principle is followed in developing the endings which characterize these words in their relations to each other.
The pupil is encumbered as little as possible with minor details and exceptional cases. The illustrations though drawn from the language of real life, are free from colloquial, proverbial or poetical idioms.
