PHRASES FOR SIMULTANEOUS REPETITION, The pupils imitating the speaking of the Instructor.
(See Méthode d'enseignement, at the end of the book.)
THE first lessons in Pronunciation, like the elementary practice in Music, may be considered as the gamut of the French accent. The pupil must constantly bear in mind, that the ear, and the ear only, is the medium through which he can be enabled to catch, as it were, the tune of the language, and acquire that accent national of France which is undoubtedly one of the chief objects he should have in
The organs of pronunciation require, during the first lessons, a continual exercise. Practice alone will give them the flexibility which is required for the utterance of any foreign tongue. By frequent repetition the pupil will soon accomplish this; he should therefore, at the commencement, go through his vowels and consonants daily, taking particular care to give each vowel its full and proper sound, and to articulate the consonants clearly.
