Excerpt from German for Beginners Do not hurry! To make a high school class study the whole of German grammar in less than a year is a crime; and two years are very much better than one year. The following arrangement of time and work has been found very effective for the average class and the average chapter of grammar (some of the more difficult chapters will require a slower pace) monday: Review of last week's work. The teacher explains (as far as possible, in German) a new text and assigns it for reading (with the help of the Special Vocabularies and Notes). Tuesday: The text is read in class; fluent reading is insisted upon. German questions, similar to those in Part II, are answered in German, with the books open; new grammatical features are explained (in English, when necessary). Assignment: Practise the text and read the corresponding Lesson practising a text means reading and re-reading it aloud, until the student is able to answer the German questions in Part II by heart. Wednesday: German questions (not necessarily those in Part II, but of a similar nature) are answered in Ger man with the books closed. The new grammatical mate rial is practised (declensions and conjugations with the help of whole sentences rather than detached paradigms). Assignment: Prepare Drill in Part II; write German answers to a selected number of the Questions. Thursday: The Drill work is practised (partly by writing on the blackboard); practice, as on the preced ing day, is repeated. Assignment: study the correspond ing grammar lesson; study the text for oral reproduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
