Excerpt from A New Method of Learning to Read, Write and Speak a Language in Six Months, Adapted to the Italian: For the Use of Schools and Private Teachers MY system of acquiring a living language is founded on the principle, that each question nearly contains the answer which one ought or which one wishes to make to it. The slight difference between the question and the answer is always explained before the question: so that the learner does not find it in the least difficult, either to answer it, or to make similar questions for himself. Again, the question containing the same words as the answer, as soon as the master pronounces it, it strikes the pupil's ear, and is therefore easily reproduced by, his speaking organs. This principle is so evident, that it is impossible to open the book without being struck by it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
