Book Description

Excerpt from William R. Harper's Introductory Hebrew Method and Manual While all agree as to the and desired. The method of attaining this end is a question in dispute. According to one view. The student is first to learn the principles as they are laid down in the grammars. And then apply them to selected words. Or short senten ces. And after a short preliminary training of this sort. He is plunged headlong into a text without notes of any kind. And expected to make progress. And to enjoy the study. His vocabu lary is to be learned by looking up the words in the Lexicon. Until they become familiar. Different phases of this method are in use among teachers of Hebrew; but all follow practically the same order. (1) study of grammar. (2) application of grammar. It is the purpose of this volume to furnish a text-book. Which shall assist in acquiring the Hebrew language by a different meth cd. The method employed may be called an inductive one. The order of work which it advocates is. First. To gain an accurate and thorough knowledge of some of the facts of the language; sec ondly. To learn from these facts the principles which they illustrate. And by which they are regulated: thirdly. To apply these principles in the further progress of the work. A few words of explanation are needed at this point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
