Excerpt from English for Foreigners, Vol. 1 The author of this Reader has met with remarkable success in teaching foreigners in public evening schools to speak, read, and write English, and the book is the direct outgrowth of her teaching, and its contents have been practically tested in the schoolroom. As such pupils are generally mature young men and women, the ordinary First Reader made for children is, both as to method and content, ill adapted to their needs. Their interests are those of adults, and the content of the lessons of a children's Reader does not appeal to them. In this little book the lessons treat of topics of intrinsic interest to mature minds, while the language is simple and easy, as it should be. Instead of reading about the doll, the top, the cat, and like topics, and learning a child's vocabulary, pupils using this book will acquire useful knowledge, and with it a vocabulary which will enable them to speak, read, and write about it after the manner of adults. It ner's book is very happily conceived, pted to meet a great need. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
