Author Description

Excerpt from Comment on Parle À Paris, or French as Spoken in Paris: For the Use of Pupils and Travellers French being now one of the essential branches of education, it is important that pupils should be taught to speak it; not only uently, but with elegance. Why is it that so many young persons, after studying for several years, are so frequently incapable of holding a conversa tion in that language? Their memory is certainly well stored with a variety of expressions, but how and when to apply them, they know not; and the refinement which constitutes the great beauty of French conversations, they are generally unacquainted with.
