Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and engaging approach to learning the French language, drawing on the principles of interlinear translation. The author, steeped in the tradition of esteemed educators like Locke and Ascham, presents a method for acquiring fluency through the meticulous translation of French prose into English, with a focus on literal and free rendering. The bookââ â¢s core text comprises a collection of fables and excerpts from prominent French writers, exposing readers to a diverse range of styles and enriching their vocabulary. The author argues that through this meticulous, step-by-step process, students acquire a deep understanding of French grammar, idioms, and forms of expression, thereby paving the way for independent reading and writing. This volume, when used in conjunction with its companion volume, the Pronouncing French Reader, promises to be an invaluable tool for anyone seeking to master the nuances of the French language. The author's innovative approach, informed by centuries of pedagogical thought, elevates this work to a place of enduring importance in the history of language education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
