Excerpt from French Dialogues: A Systematic Introduction to the Grammar and Idiom of Spoken French

There has been for some time a strong feeling in favour of a reform in the teaching of living languages. The methods hitherto employed have all proved inadequate for the purpose. There has been too much theory and too little practice. The pupil is set to learn an elaborate grammar full of difficult rules and exceptions, which he seldom if ever finds occasion to use, and which he speedily forgets again. The little he does retain he cannot turn to account In French particularly it is generally the case that he is unable to construct the simplest sentence, and incapable of pronouncing it intelligibly. The majority of people in this country have no idea how absolutely unintelligible the usual school pronunciation is to a Frenchman.
