Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materials for French Composition, Vol. 1 These exercises were originally devised for use in the Boston high schools: as they have proved successful there, I venture to make them public. They were composed in the belief that pupils can succeed in writing idiomatic French only through the careful study and imitation of good French models. Any attempt to turn ordinary English into a foreign language, with the help of grammar and dictionary alone, is, except in the case of advanced students, almost an absolute waste of time. Halévy's well-known novel was chosen as a basis for three reasons: it is widely used; it is published in this country (by W. R. Jenkins of New York) ; it is written in a language at once simple and extremely idiomatic. For every one of the thirty-five exercises, I have taken as a model about a page of the Abbe Constantin, and have constructed in English, from the words and phrases it contains, a new conversation or narrative, rendering peculiarly French expressions by corresponding English idioms, and using the single words, as far as possible, in forms and relations different from those they have in the original.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in French Composition for Schools and Colleges Much attention is paid to idiomatic expressions, and repeti tion of important phrases is frequent. The selections need not be taken up in the order in which they are printed. The teacher is the best judge of the needs of his class. In Parts III and IV, for instance, the easy selec tions may be used with beginners, while for more advanced students they may be found suitable for sight translation. The English paraphrases are included in the english-french vocabulary, and may be used independently of the French text if the teacher so desires. The author would, however, strongly recommend a very careful study of the French text before beginning the translation of the paraphrases. Parts I and II, which are largely in dialogue form, are suit able for drill in conversation. The selections in French may also be used, by teachers who wish to reduce the translation of English into French to a minimum, for the purpose of hav ing the students write resumes of them in French, and for writing definitions of new words and idioms in French. In Part IV will be found a brief list of subjects for original composition. The teacher can easily add to this list, suiting the subjects and outlines to his needs. It is necessary to give the students an outline of the theme in order to prevent a too great use of words and phrases already familiar. It is pos sible to begin quite early with original composition, and it is a very useful and interesting change from the ordinary trans lation. In the Appendix has been added a number of lessons for the purpose of giving a brief review of the principal rules of syntax. Not finding any suitable French selection, the author has ventured to offer the original French of Part I, for which he bespeaks the indulgence of his fellow-teachers, - stet pro ratione voluntas. It is a pleasure to record my indebtedness for valuable sug gestions received from Professors W. U. Vreeland and R. Michaud, and to thank especially Dr. C. E. Mathews for the generous assistance he has given me by very carefully read ing both the manuscript and the proof.

This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. This little volume of "Progressive French Idioms" claims neither to be exhaustive nor even very highly advanced; it is meant to be really practical and useful. Any expressions, idioms, or proverbs which might be unknown to an ordinary educated Frenchman have been omitted. An attempt has been made at some division of the matter according to its relative importance, but, of course, opinions will differ as to this, and the sections are bound to overlap to some extent. Section A contains under the name of Grammatical Idioms! typical examples of most of the points in which French and English grammar do not agree. It does not go into grammatical oddities or moot questions debated amongst scholars. A pupil well drilled in this section-that is, able to construct sentences readily and intelligently on the model of those given-would actually possess as much practical knowledge of grammar as is necessary and sufficient to proceed with the study of French. It may here be remarked that lack of fluency in conversation does not as a rule arise from want of knowledge in advanced grammar, or even from a deficient vocabulary, but rather from want of readiness in the use of those elementary constructions of French grammar which are quite easy and natural to natives. Until the pupil is perfectly at home in the use of the personal pronouns, the conversational tense, the idiomatic auxiliaries, etc., no fluency in speaking is possible. The next requirement is an equally ready knowledge of a number of idiomatic turns and expressions which every Frenchman, be he educated, or not, uses constantly. A knowledge of these is absolutely essential to speaking and writing French as it is spoken and written by French people. These are given in Section B. Section C is concerned with idioms more literary than those in Section B, but by no means uncommon. They are the kind of expressions and constructions constantly I found in the books of good writers, or used by people who speak well. Most of them will be required in the translation into French of an ordinary English passage, and consequently they must not only be understood but learned and used by more advanced pupils having to translate English into French or write original composition. In Section D are included idioms difficult of use for English pupils, but, generally speaking, easy and perfectly well known to any educated Frenchman. Many are idioms which a foreigner is apt to use incorrectly or in the wrong place. Owing to their constant occurrence in French books the pupil must know their meaning, but should not as a rule be advised or encouraged to use them until he has by a larger intercourse with French writers or French people obtained a deeper understanding of the genius of the language. In this section the French is given first. Section E contains a number of trite and stereotyped similes, most of them having now lost their original wit or sarcasm, but which are still used everywhere by everybody. The list could easily have been extended and might have been interesting as sometimes giving curious illustrations of the difference in the respective characters of the two peoples. In Section F some well-known proverbs are given with English equivalents. The list does not go beyond such sayings as everybody uses and quotes freely in France. For some there is an acknowledged rendering, sometimes perhaps not very accurate, for others a somewhat awkward translation has to be resorted to. Indeed, as the intercourse between France and Britain increases, not a few seem now to admit of a literal translation.
