Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from French Dialogues and Phrases: With an English Translation: Consisting of Thirty-Six Conversations on Familiar Subjects, and a Collection of Idioms and Proverbs; The Calculated to Facilitate the Study of the French Language; And Particularly to Remove the Difficulties of Speaking It
BY far the greater portion of those who apply themselves to the study of a foreign language, re coil from the difficulties which they meet in their attempts to speak it, and to understand it when spoken; and they thus deprive themselves of the greatest advantage which it offers in their inter course with society. This talent is to be acquired neither from grammars, nor yet from the perusal of those works which justly constitute the litera ture of a language. The truth of this remark, were it not self-evident, has been amply-demon strated by experience. In addition to grammati cal knowledge, it is necessary that the organ of speech should be bent to the idiom, and the ear frequently struck by a repetition of the same sounds.
