Synopsis

This book presents a course in German composition for students who already possess a knowledge of German grammar, and have read some easy German prose. The course of study is developed in accordance with the latest educational science, which gives it the specific character of being interesting, easy to follow, and yet thorough in its treatment of the subject matter. The author does not waste time on theoretical discussions of language but plunges at once into the practical study of the language, beginning with written and oral exercises founded upon the reading matter in the book. In addition to the regular grammatical exercises, conversation and dictation exercises are given, to supplement the reading matter, and the vocabulary is carefully chosen so as to cover nearly all words used in general conversation. Each lesson contains a German narrative, selected for its literary merits and interest of subject, and serves as a basis for practical exercises. These exercises are so constructed as to cover the essentials of German grammar. The author's long and successful experience as an instructor of modern languages guarantees the practical efficiency of this method.
