Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Ways and Their Meaning The Latin is this or that unless he makes the mental reservation, or at least seems so to me; but if this mental reservation is always implied, if it serves always as the background of the picture, the features portrayed may es cape caricature and yet bear some resem blance to the original. Lastly, the use of the labels anglo-saxon and Latin, for purposes of easy antithesis, must be defended and apologised for.

Book excerpt: One hears a good deal in these days about "What America can teach France;" though it is worthnoting that the phrase recurs less often now than it did a year ago.In any case, it would seem more useful to leave the French to discover (as they are doing every day, with the frankest appreciation) what they can learn from us, while we Americans apply ourselves tofinding out what they have to teach us. It is obvious that any two intelligent races are bound to havea lot to learn from each other; and there could hardly be a better opportunity for such an exchangeof experience than now that a great cause has drawn the hearts of our countries together while aterrible emergency has broken down most of the surface barriers between us.No doubt many American soldiers now in France felt this before they left home. When a man wholeaves his job and his family at the first call to fight for an unknown people, because that people isdefending the principle of liberty in which all the great democratic nations believe, he likes to thinkthat the country he is fighting for comes up in every respect to the ideal he has formed of it. Andperhaps some of our men were a little disappointed, and even discouraged, when they first came incontact with the people whose sublime spirit they had been admiring from a distance for three years.Some of them may even, in their first moment of reaction, have said to themselves: "Well, after all, the Germans we knew at home were easier people to get on with

This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Method of Learning the French Language In Parts Second and Fourth, the practical predominates; in Parts Third and Fifth, the theoretical. They are so far independent of each other, that the several parts need not be studied in the order in which they stand. The arrangement, however, was suggested by a long course of experience, and adopted after mature delibera tion. The practical develops principles, elements, and facts, in natural succession, but without regard to scientific method; the theoretical embraces, in a connected view, and in systematic order, the cognate parts that have been studied separately. By this plan, the treatment of the verbs is presented to the mind, unembarrassed with other dimculties; the student, once familiar with their forms, may enter upon a course of reading-lessons, which adds variety to the exercises, and increases his interest in the study of the language.

Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

Download or read book My Life in France written by Julia Child and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2006-04-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Julia's story of her transformative years in France in her own words is "captivating ... her marvelously distinctive voice is present on every page.” (San Francisco Chronicle). Although she would later singlehandedly create a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, Julia Child was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julia’s unforgettable story—struggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year long marriage that took the Childs across the globe—unfolds with the spirit so key to Julia’s success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of America’s most endearing personalities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Textbook on French There are many ways in which man may make his thoughts known to others; as, for example, by grimace, gesture, the signs Of the deaf and dumb, symbols, pictorial writing, and pictures. But better than any or all Of these, are oral speech and written language. It is chiefly by this faculty Of speech that man is distinguished from the lower animals, and this faculty is so far above the power of expression possessed by brutes that many people believe human language to have been a gift of divine origin.

Download or read book French by Reading written by Louise Seymour Houghton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French by Reading: A Progressive French Method Tim one point to be kept ever in view, in teaching French by this method, is to make the study easy. The pupil's mind should never be needlessly diverted from the main purpose, that of thinking in French, by any avoidable perplexity, either as to the meaning of a phrase or as to the grammatical principles which govern it. The vocabulary which is to give form to the thought is always the first consideration, and it is to be attained by the easiest and most rapid means possible. The grammatical rules are in every case to explain the form, never to precede it. In the case of very young pupils, therefore, it is desirable that even the notes explanatory of the lesson should be given by the teacher orally, rather than read by the pupil. In no case are they intended to be learned. The grammatical rules, on the contrary, are to be learned, and learned perfectly; but not until the reading lesson has been gone over at least once, - in the case of young children, twice. The method of study should, therefore, be as follows. First, the reading of the text of the lesson, with the interlinear translation, as far as it exists; after that, the text is to be read in class, without prep aration, the teacher supplying the English meaning of all new words. The second lesson should consist of the same text, prepared before hand by the aid of the Vocabulary at the end of the book (which contains only those translations of the word required by the book), and of the grammatical references, if needed. The third lesson should consist of the large type of the grammar lesson, thoroughly committed to memory, and a third reading of the text, at sight. In a class of older children, after the first nine lessons, two repetitions of the text should be sufficient, the grammar study accompanying the second repetition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Direct Method of Teaching French As I was writing the Preface of my French text, La Classe en Frangais, I thought I heard the teachers not yet initiated in direct teaching ask, at almost every line, for some additional explanations. They will find them in the present little volume. It contains, together with the method of using La Classe en F fungais and the justification of its program, a complete technique concerning the direct explanation of words, and a detailed description of the exercises by which they may be fixed in the memory. This, and more particularly, perhaps, such of the examples given as go to make up the language used in conducting-the class, will smooth my young colleagues' way. And I hope that, confident in their method and sure of sucéess, they will see their pupils come joyfully to receive their.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Road to French: An Introduction to "the De Brisay Analytical Method of Learning the French Language" Did the reader ever ask himself how long it took him to learn his mother tongue? He did not learn it in six months. In six years he learned it very imperfectly and, perhaps even now he may not know it any too well. And yet he followed faithfully all along the Natural Method. Be devoted, not two hours a week for six months to the method, but ten hours every day of his life for years. Look at the child in your own home. From early morning till late at night he hears nothing but English spoken around him. Such sounds as Don't do that, Come here, dear, I'll whip you now, he perhaps hears fifty times a day. It is not to be wondered at that at last he becomes able, not only to understand these sounds, but to utter them himself. He hears also many other phrases of a difi'erent kind, such as a strange notion, a terrible acci dent, it's only human nature, etc., but these sounds fall without effect upon his little ears, for though he may repeat many of them, he does so after the manner of a parrot without the least conception of what the phrases mean. These words repreent abstract ideas. They are not the names of objects which the child sees and hears about him they do not indicate the relation of these objects to one another they are not the language of the child, but of the matured mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rosenthal's Common Sense Method of Practical Linguistry: The French Language In a very clear, conclusive, and elaborate argument he showed that the study of Latin and Greek, as pursued in our schools and colleges, was practically worthless; that scarcely any of our students could read the ancient classics with ease and enjoyment, and that not even the teachers themselves were able to use these tongues colloquially. He closed his speech with an eloquent appeal to the College authorities that greater attention should hence forth be paid to the study of modern languages, and many of our leading Universities have since hen endeavored to act upon his advice.
