Book excerpt: Excerpt from Keller's New German Method, or a New System of Teaching the Modern Languages IN bringing this work before the public, I wish it to be understood from the outset, that it is not intended to form a complete course of the German language in itself, but only one part of it; and in my humble Opinion, the most impor tant s the practical, or as I would call it, the conversational part. Various circumstances hastened the publication of this work, which I intended to have delayed till the whole was completed. Among these I may mention: the nuques tionable success, based upon undeniable facts, obtained by this system; as well as the flattering approbation of the distinguished gentlemen of the Washington University, who were present at an examination, for the especial purpose of testing the system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Language: Outlines of Its Development Language teachers recognize the injustice and prejudice in such condemnation. At the same time, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that more and more the study Of foreign languages is pursued not for its own inherent value, but for ulterior purposes, however legitimate they may be. I have long had the conviction that for the loss of pres tige suffered by language study during the last twenty years, the profession is not altogether without blame. In trying to meet the popular clamor for practical results, Often enough coming from sources whence it should be least expected, we have allowed our work to grow more or less superficial, giving more attention to a favorable appearance, to entertainment of the learner than to serious study with its sure and lasting reward. The best, if not the only way in which we may rehabilitate ourselves in the esteem of seriously minded students, is by laying surer and deeper foundations for our work. In this book I meant to put my efforts in this direction at the service Of all teachers and students who are interested in gaining an intelligent understanding of linguistic processes as they manifest themselves in the German language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Studies, Vol. 1: A Complete Course of Instruction in the German Language It has almost become a custom, that the Author of a book, and particularly 'of a new School-book, begins his Pre face with a sort of apology for having dared to increase the great number of similar works. I will not do any such thing. In my Opinion, every work that is presented to the Public, must justify its own appearance, if this is not the case, all excuses and apologies in the Preface are super uous and generally ridiculous. The number of German Grammars is indeed very great, but I also know that a great many of them are of such a kind, that they must soon fall into oblivion. It is, however, not my task to show the merits and defects of other works; my endeavour shall simply be to state the Principles on which this work is composed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Practical and Easy Method of Learning the German Language: First Course Learn a foreign language as you learned your mother tongue: this is in a few words the method which I have adopted in this little work. It is the way that nature her self follows, it is the same which the mother points out in Speaking to her child, repeating to it a hundred times the same words, combining them imperceptibly, and succeeding in this way to make it speak the same language she speaks. To learn in this manner is no longer a study, it is an amuse ment. Supposing the pupil to have learned his own language by principles, I thought it proper to add a few rules, which will serve to shorten the course and render the progress more secure.

This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of German in Secondary Schools Some definite work has already been done in the United States towards putting modern language instruction upon a better basis as regards aim and method; for example, Reform the report1 presented by the Committee of Movement Twelve, at the session of the Modern Lan 1 U' s. A' guage Association held in Charlottesville, Va., in 1898. It is an attempt, by way of recommendation, to bring about some degree Of harmony in the rather chaotic conditions that naturally exist in a nation so educationally decentralized as our own. Though brief, the report is com prehensive and practical, and deserves the careful study of every modern language teacher. After dealing with the aim and value Of modern languages as a culture study, there follows a brief sketch and critique of some of the well-known systems or methods. The report then seeks to build up, from this preliminary discussion, a course more or less eclectic in method, to suit our conditions. Very valuable are the suggestions given to teachers, and everywhere the report is characterized by a wise conservatism, so desirable in the present status of modern language work in the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Study of the New High German Language, Theoretical and Practical In no branch of education have the best means of culture been more neglected than in that of the modern languages. In spite of the apathy in this direction, it is pleasing and encouraging, however, to all who aim at the accomplishment of the best purposes of education, to know that there are some at least who have been awakened to a true appreciation of these interesting vehicles of modern thought - of a civilization, which is, to a large exent, the outgrowth of Christianity, and which on this account is of higher import to us than any ever conceived in the brain or heart of Greek or Roman. This is due in no ordinary degree to the influence of the labors of such men as Maetzner (in French and English), Westphal, Grimm, Koch, Curtius, Schleicher, MuUer, Morris, Skeat, Whitney, Hoffmann, Marsh, Kehrein, March, Littré, Chavéé and others. The modern languages are valuable on account of their means of intellectual training. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar of the German Language: Systematically Arranged on a New Plan, Brief, Comprehensive and Practical Every free country, trusting to correct and general intelligence for the permanency of its institutions, will liberally patronize, not only science and native litera ture, but also the study of foreign languages, with a view of deriving aid from the intellectual labours and improvements of other nations. Among those languages which are attracting the attention of the scholar, the philologist and the statesman, none pos sesses more charms, excites more interest, or Opens more sources of information and Speculation, than the German. Formerly, it was rarely ever found included in a course of collegiate or general study. But as the beauties' and wealth of German literature have be come known and appreciated, its study has become more general. Now it finds able advocates in nearly all the respectable literary institutions of the land. New England, the Greece of the new world, where the rays of light are concentrated from every dirce tion, and again reflected abroad, has the honour of being the first in this country to encours and culti vate the study of the langua e in which ghiller and Gothe, Wieland and Burger, arner and Voss, Klopp stock, Herder and Schlegel have rendered themselves immortal.

Download or read book Ollendorff s New Method of Learning to Read Write and Speak the German Language Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Gottfried Ollendorff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ollendorff's New Method of Learning to Read, Write, and Speak the German Language The success of Ollendorff is unquestionably due to his method, by which he has made the German, heretofore noto riously difficult to foreigners, accessible to the capacity of all, young or old, learned or unlearned. Instead of pre-supposing a familiarity with English Grammar in the pupil, and then presenting a synthetic view of the principles of the language, as is commonly done, he begins apparently without any system, with the simplest phrases, from which he deduces the rules, until gradually and almost imperceptibly he makes the pupil master of the etymology and syntax of every part of speech. The rules are, as it were, concealed amid the multitude of exercises which are added to each lesson, and which serve to fortify the learner in the principles he has already acquired. Another characteristic feature of the book, and one in which its practical merit chiefly consists is, that the examples on which the rules are based, and those which are intended to illustrate the rules, are not derived from the German Classics; they are neither the ideal language of Poetry, nor the rigorous language of Science, but of life, - short sentences, such as one would be most likely to use in conversing in a circle of friends, or in writing a letter.

Download or read book Phonetics of the New High German Language written by Arwid Johannson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phonetics of the New High German Language To urge the value of Phonetics for the theoretical and practical study of languages would be "to carry owls to Athens". The Victoria University of Manchester took a step in the right direction, when, with the view of testing the pronunciation, it introduced an oral examination in modern languages for the Pass Degree; since the establishment of the Honours School for modern languages theoretical questions in Phonetics have always been asked in the oral examination; and the regulations for the M. A. examination expressly recognise Phonetics as a subject of examination, although they adopt - in order not to alarm nervous minds - a somewhat "bashful" wording: "oral examination in the theory and practice of pronunciation". If therefore the statements seem to wear quite an apodictic form, I do not wish to imply by this that the given explanation or pronunciation is the only admissible one, but I wish to say that it is the right one or the preferable one according to my conviction, the reasons for which I cannot state in this little book.

Is one that has occupied the attention of some of the deepest thinkers. Of all who have ever written on this subject, M. Marcel, in his work, The Study of Languages, has most nearly approached the solution of the problem; and we would advise both teach ers and scholars, before commencing the study of a foreign language, carefully to peruse the book referred to, which having been written in a tongue foreign to the author, is in itself the very best proof of the correctness of the views developed on its pages.
