PEEFACE. 
 
 Geeman is not a language that can be acquired 
 without steady application or without a sound 
 knowledge of the grammatical rules, but to plunge 
 the pupil at once into the intricacies of the grammar 
 is both discouraging and useless. Every intelligent 
 student would prefer to have the leading rules 
 introduced gradually in a partical and easy manner, 
 and it is on this principle that the present little 
 work has been written. The following method of 
 study is recommended: 
 
 1. The Beading Lessons should be read aloud 
 with the teacher and the great similarity of the 
 German and English words noted. 
 
 2. The vocabulary and gramatical rule must be 
 learned by heart, and each exercise translated 
 in writing; the pupil should also translate 
 them aloud to the teacher, to accustom his 
 ear to the sound of the language, and for this 
 purpose it is desirable, as the pupil advances, 
 to repeat the German portion of the lesson 
 more rapidly. 
 
 3. After going through the first set of reading 
 lessons they should be repeated as dictation 
 exercises, for which they are suitable. 
 
4. After the first few lessons, the student should 
 form sentences for himself, with any of the 
 words contained in the vocabulary, introducing 
 the rules of grammar he has already learned. 
 Words coming under the same rule have been 
 placed together, and will afford material for 
 additional exercises. 
 
 5. The beginner should only attempt to learn a 
 small portion at a time of the Easy Stories 
 given at the end of the book, to enable him to 
 remember every word , in order to reply to the 
 questions appended to them. These questions 
 will give the teacher an excellent opportunity 
 of pointing out and explaining the peculiarities 
 of the language. 
 
 6. All substantives and adjectives in the reading 
 lessons should be declined by the pupil; verbs 
 should be conjugated, and the grammar prac- 
 ticed in every possible way, to prepare the 
 student for Werner's Second German Course 
 which will contain a complete grammar, a list 
 of idioms, and a selection from the best English 
 and German authors, with notes for translation.

 the root in the first person and the C of the termination 
 in the others.

 ■worked with the children of the teacher. The cler- 
 gymen of this town are very benevolent. The deeds 
 of these brave soldiers are known. The name of

 are very diligent. He gave his dog to the brothers 
 of the teacher. The physicians of this town are

 Lesson 34. 
 
 German Verls are often compounded with Prepositions, 
 
 These are separated from the verb in the Present 
 and Imperfect tense. 
 
 , Example: roeggel^ert, to go away. 
 Scfi ge^e lueg I go away 
 bu ge^ft roeg thou goest away 
 tx gel^t loeg he goes away 
 
 xoxt ge^en roeg we go away 
 t^t ge^et loeg jcnx go away 
 fie gel^en roeg they go away. 
 The particles Ct, Cllt, Bc, ini§ , Jiet and jet are 
 never separated from the verh. 
 
 Example: 3(| 6efuc^e, I visit. Sr seitei^t fein 
 Sud^, he tears his book. 
 
 Note. After Relative Pronouns and Conjunctions 
 the Particle is not separated from the Verb. 
 
 Example: S)te %xa.ii, roe(§e roeggel^t. SBenn er 
 roegging, when he went away.
