Excerpt from The German Reader, Vol. 1 of 3: A Selection of Readings in German Literature With Explanatory Notes and a Vocabulary, Containing Anecdotes, Fables, Descriptions, Fairy Stories, Parables, Tales and Easy PoemsA Vocabulary more or less complete is added at the end of the volume. For some words towards the end of the book the pupil will probably be obliged to have recourse to a dictionary.There is another advantage adopted in the method of this book to which I beg to call the teachers' attention, as one which they have not met with hitherto in any other German Reading-book, viz: the addition of questions< to a great number of the Readings. For it is not enough for the pupil to learn to understand the German he reads, he should also learn how to make an immediate use of it by learning to speak, and surely nothing can be more useful or serviceable for this purpose than to hear easy questions asked in German on a subject which is already familiar to him by the previous reading of it, and to form from the matter already known to him, the fitting replies which the professor, if they are not quite right, will immediately correct, and which the pupil will repeat in the rectified form. It is impossible to conceive a more practical method of acquiring the art of speaking German than the above mentioned one by which the scholar exercises equally his ear and tongue, and which will in a short time enable him to express his thoughts ¿uently and correctly, in the foreign idiom.May this little volume meet with as favourable a reception as my German Grammar!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
