THE FRENCH LANGUAGE taught on an
entirely New Sys'em, by
MONS. RAGONOT,
(OF PARIB,)
Author of the "SYMBOLIC ANGLO-FRENCH VOCABULARY,"
&c., Sy.%
The principle of this system is founded upon the natural and
infallible method universally followed by the mother teaching
her child.
The unsatisfactory results of the present mode of teaching foreign
languages is proverbial; the general impression is, that a language
can be acquired. only in the country where it is spoken, and doutitless,
this is necessary where the teacher considers himself justified in
disregarding the laws of nature so ffr as to endeavour to impart
•sounds by the medium of the eyes, and teach the science of a
language before the pupil can lisp its simplest accents. With such a
theory, all human devices must necessarily fail, and hence the nu
merous complaints of wasted time and ineffectual endeavours, whilst
the teaching of nature-is universally successful.
To those who have laboured in vain, and who now despair of ever
understanding the rapid conversation of the natives of France, the
faculty may be easily acquired, but not by any of the artificial sys-
lems, however ingenious, to which allusion has been made.
