Practical Lessons in German Conversation: A Companion to All German Grammars, and a Manual for Candidates for the Civil and Military Service Examinations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Lessons in German Conversation: A Companion to All German Grammars, and a Manual for Candidates for the Civil and Military Service Examinations
The ultimate object of learning a living language is to be able to speak it. In this all are agreed. But how to attain so desirable an object, is to many people as yet a much debated question. There are still many people who fancy that a knowledge of a modern language is most easily picked up by a short residence abroad. This is a strange delusion. Surely, it is easier to get your grammar ready-made than to construct it for yourself out of a mass of heterogeneous material, regular and irregular, correct and incorrect, presented all at the same time. For my own part, I have never known a person who, in this manner, had acquired a correct knowledge of any modern language. But I have known many who had acquired a slovenly manner of thinking and speaking, and who had become utterly indifferent to grammatical correctness.
