Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English as Spoken and Written to-Day: With Idiomatic Notes and Grammatical Exercises Of writing many books there is no end, and many and crude have been the manuals which have libelled our English language on the Continent. During some years´ experience as a teacher of English abroad I have been alternately shocked and amused by the so-called "Aids to English Conversation" which my pupils have brought to me for perusal or which booksellers have vainly suggested as suitable. Their lack of grammar, crudeness of expression, antiquity of style, and above all, utter foreignness, decided me to supply the need which I felt by writing conversations or letters for my pupils each day, taking for my theme any easy subject which presented itself to my mind. The conversations were meant to be learnt by heart, or at any rate copied out, and the new expressions noted. The letters were to be answered in similar style. Later on, and as my pupils became more advanced, notes were necessary to elucidate idiomatic expressions and so they took the piace of conversations, and as I found that the grammar grew irksome after the first six months to pupils who were no longer children, I substituted for it examination papers on the rules most frequently infringed by foreigners. If I can give to my pupils a desire to study more thoroughly a language for which they have a natural aptitude, and if, in addition to helping them, I may have met the want felt by other teachers, as by myself, of an easy and graduated introduction to the study of English, the purpose of this little book will be accomplished.
