Reading French Grammar: A Short Method of Learning to Read the French Language (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Reading French Grammar: A Short Method of Learning to Read the French Language
This is called a reading french grammar because its leading object is to introduce the student to a good reading knowledge of the language in the shortest possible time. The object aimed at by most English-speaking people in studying the French language is believed to be the mental training which such study supplies and the ability to read readily the valuable scientific works in that language, together with an early introduction to the treasures of its literature. To combine these ends no mere frag mentary treatment, on the one hand, nor exhaustive philological treatise, on the other, would seem to be demanded. Avoiding both extremes, the author proposes to take the language as it is, and make the student, as rapidly as possible, familiar with the forms as at present used, without here referring to their historical origin. There are excellent grammars already before the public, both in our own country and abroad, which will. Satisfy the demands of the profound student and the philologist. With these, so widely different in their aim, this simple, practical Reading French Grammar does not presume to compete.
