Synopsis
Excerpt from Easy Lessons in Chinese, or Progressive Exercises to Facilitate the Study of That Language
These lessons are also tolerably well fitted for teaching the English language to Chinese lads who are somewhat advanced in that study; they will at once see the difference between the idioms of the two languages, and learn both to translate from their own tongue into idiomatic English, or to turn short English sentences into Chinese. The Hamiltonian plan of verbal rendering seems to be well fitted to assist each party to learn the other's language. Some explanation and assistance will however be necessary to enable a native youth to use these exercises advantageously. It is unnecessary to repeat any of the observations made here and there in the course of the work. If any of them deserve to be repeat. Ed, it is perhaps that upon storing the mind with Chinese sentences, and even paragraphs, by committing them to memory. Such an exercbe, in some measure, reconducts the scholar over the same ground he trod when he learned his mother tongue. He need not be solicitous about the rules of grammar or the elegancies of style, until he has acquired a stock of words and phrases m which, as in examples, he can instantly see the application of the former, and relish the nice. Ties of the latter. It is enough at first to know that such IS the way the Chinese talk and write, and that they understand what 18 thus said and written.
