THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

"The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, considering
them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not deem them
worthy cf notice. Thus has been rejectA the fundamental law,
that th, ear alone causes the tongue to move; for, had this been
duly reflected upon, it must, at ose period or another, have led
to the discovery of the true method of teaching langtiages."—
Dttfief.
ONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the
"Symbolic Anglo-French Vocatyilary ;" awl of the
Easiest and Shortest Method of Learning Frnch." The unsuceess-
fatness cf the prevai ing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro-
veriii tl ; and what other results can b looked for, when the teacher
in general considers himself justified in disregarding the laws of
nature so far as to endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the
eyes, and teach the rcience of a language before the pupil can lisp its
simplest accents? With stitch a theory all human devices must neces-
sarily fail ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
uurs ft... those who have laboured,m vain; and
the general notion that a language can be acquired only in the coun-
try where it is spoken; hence the despair of many students of the
French language of even understanding the rapid conversation of
natives of France.

All these deplorab!e cort3eque. cos may be obviated by the natural
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Ragonot.

To carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several members of a family shoald take lessons together, mach
advantage being derived from numbers.
