THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consider-
in g them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, -do not
deem them worthy of notice. Thus has been rejected the fun-
damental law, that the car alone causes the tongue to move
for, had this been duly -reflected upon, it must, at one period
or another, have led to the discovery of the true method of
xteaching
languages."—Dufief.
ONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the "Sym-
bolic Anglo-French Vocabulary," and of the "Easiest and
1) ortest Method of Learning French." The unsuccessfulness of the
;railing mode of teaching foreign languages is proverbial ; and
_ at other results can be looked for, when the teacher in general
:41aiders himself justified in disregarding the laws of nature so far
: to endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the ers, and
`len the science of a language before the pupil can lisp its simplest
Cents! With such a theory all human devices must necessarily
bld ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
t,er,ffectual endeavours, from those who have laboured in vain; and
4 general notion that a language can be acquired only in the
tatuir,tl7 where it is spoken ; hence the despair of many students of
ofe rrench language of even understanding the rapid conversation
natives of France.
~.'9l these deplorable consequences may be obviated by the natural
-•''`tem of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Ragonot.
t: 0 Carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
aeral members of a family should take lessons togetller, much
7 vantage being derived from numbers.
