Primary French Course, Third Part (Otto Siepmann's Primary French Course)

Otto Siepmann's Primary French Course encompasses a graduated progression of mastering "one difficulty at a time". Beginning with phonetics, vocabulary, and elementary grammar in Siepmann's Primary French Course, Part 1, pupils of French learn what is essential in reading, writing and speaking French, "excluding all that is irregular". Only then are the more difficult concepts introduced and studied for the construction of precise thoughts and expression. As with all living languages, students will necessarily require up-to-date vocabulary and proper expressions of speech. In Siepmann's Primary French Course, Part 2, we are treated to the adventures of an English boy traveling to various parts of early 20th century France, learning of French culture and extended vocabulary.This volume, Otto Siepmann's Primary French Course, Part 3, completes his vision for a new method of teaching French in English speaking schools. The final goal of Siepmann's vision, namely "that the highest aim of all modern language teaching at school must be the gradual development of scholarly habits, of literary taste, and of culture in the highest sense", is fulfilled here. For this book is a packed survey of classic french literature from some of France's most famous authors.
