Présentation de l'éditeur
This book is intended as a guide for the first years study of French. It gives all the essentials of the grammar, with a series of familiar conversations written while strolling about the streets, the gardens, the parks, the museums, etc., of Paris in the summer of 1897. It fulfils a promise made to my pupils of the Oneonta Normal School to prepare for them a text-book that should make them feel at home in Paris whenever they might have the privilege of visiting that interesting city. These conversations were written on the spot of each scene described, and are true to the life and features of modern Paris. I found, by intercourse with English and Americans while in Paris, that one may study the language for years and yet be quite helpless, or at the mercy of hired guides, when going about the city. The phrases and stories of the usual text-books, however well learned, do not enable the foreigner to order a dinner at a restaurant, to do his shopping, nor to pronounce the names of the streets, churches, museums, etc., intelligibly to the natives.
