A Practical German Grammar (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Practical German GrammarPart II is devoted to the less fundamental matters of grammatical scholarship, and is meant to be used for sys tematic study, and for reference, in connection with the reading of German authors. For reasons that are implied in what is said above, it contains no exercises. After the essentials of the grammar as set forth in Part I are thor oughly mastered, further progress Will best be insured, for some time to come, by systematic grammar-lessons illustrated and enforced from day to day by thorough drill upon the text read. I am strongly of the opinion that this drill ought to be carried on chic¿y, if not entirely, in the German language. The pupil's timc is better spent in learning to express himself, under the guidance and stimulus of the teacher's questions, about that which he is reading, and which has for him a living interest, than in translating out-of-the-way indigestible sentences from English into German. The translation of connected Eng lish into German belongs to a later stage of study than that of which I now speak, and should presuppose a con siderable time spent in reading.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
