In no form can the French language as now spoken, its spirit and idioms, be studied to greater advantage than in the masterpieces of the contemporary French Drama. This fact almost every intelligent French teacher acknowledges. The study of well-selected plays has the great advantage of bringing under the notice of the pupil a constant succession of well chosen idiomatic phrases. The pupil cannot help retaining a great number of such phrases, and acquires thus the gift of French Conversation much :nove rapidly than by reading extracts of stories. Each play is preceded by a short critical notice, and accompanied by such notes as are indispensable, and a careful rendering of the most difficult expressions. Professors and Teachers may add such explanations as they consider desirable. |
