THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

,;!.Thc .principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consider-
ing them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not
deem them worthy of notice. Thus has been rejected the fun-
damental law, that tke car alone causes the tongue to move;
for, had this ben duly reflected upon, it mukt, atone period
or snottier, hWve led to the disceYeery of the tritkAnethod of
teaching languages."—Dufief.
}`/TONS. •RAGO,NOT (of Paris), Author of the " Sym-
bolic Anglo-French Vocabulary," and of the "Easiest and
64ortest Method of Learning Frenoh." The unsuccessfulness of the
prevailing Mode Of teaching foreign languages is proverbial; and
what, other results oan be looked for; when, the teacher in general
considers liriaserf justified in disregarding the laws of nature so, far

s, to endeavour-:tb impart sounds by the: medium of tlweyes, ane
teach the seitincebf a language before the pupil can lisp its simplesl
accents IWith :such a:OPOFY all )auntan :devices must necessaril3

fail; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
ineffectual end'aavbitrs, from those who have labOttred in vain ; and
the general notion that a language can be acquired anly_in. _the
country where it js spoken ; hence the despair of many students of
the Frenelr language of even understanding the rapid conversation
of natives of France. , - ,

All these deplorable conseluenceS4ntly be Obviatid;by the nataral
system of teaching languages adopted hy Mons. Ragonot.
To carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several' members' of a family should take lessons together, muck
advantgp being derived from numbers.
