Excerpt from A German Grammar for Beginners IN beginning German, most teachers use simple stories in connection with the grammar drill. Difficulties arise from the necessity of learning two vocabularies, as well as from the lack of correlation between the stories and the grammar.

The stories were written expressly for this pur pose and give the pupil at the outset familiar and usable words. These are mainly cognates, so that the reading may begin as soon as the German letters have been learned. The book includes seventy-two lessons, of which every fifth one is a review. In addition to this, Lessons XXXVII - XL review the first half, and Lessons LXV - LXXII the whole book, taking up at the same time the irregular verbs.
