ABSTRACT
One has a good working knowledge of French pronunciation and is ready for a more intimate study of the language. Practise the pronunciation aids after each conversational text and follow all directions for reading aloud and speaking. This chapter will introduce us to Mr. Davis, a London businessman who is as eager as we are to learn French. It also helps us to meet his congenial teacher, monsieur Picard, a Frenchman living in London. Read the French text silently, referring to the English only when necessary to get the meaning. Cover up the English text and read the French text silently. Study the Pronunciation and Spelling Aids and the sections Building Vocabulary and Locutions franaises which follow the text. Then read the French text aloud, pronouncing carefully. Complete each sentence by putting the English words into French. When we have completed each sentence with the needed words, read the complete sentence aloud in French.
