Über diesen Podcast
This collection is part of an initiative to create a language
learning resource. The Language Learning Collections contain
readings from various language learning books, grammars, primers,
phrasebooks, dictionaries, readers and even other works which
contain information on various languages, recount experiences of
language learning and encountering new languages or provide guides
for correct pronunciation, writing or discourse in a language.
These works could describe English or any other language
whatsoever, from Latin to Sumerian, Chinese to Wampanoag, Esperanto
to Swahili (etc.).This Volume includes a treatise by Sir Arthur
Cotton, author of an "Arabic Primer". His daughter, Lady Hope, on
page 523 of her biography of her father, writes that he "had very
strong theories on the subject of learning “Living Languages,” his
opinion being that, as every child who comes into the world learns
its mother tongue orally, and at first without grammar… so the
learning of all modern languages would be very much facilitated by
a similar process." Also included are the orientalist E.G. Browne's
opinions on language learning (taken from the introduction to A
Year Amongst the Persians), the first lesson from Dr. Emil Otto's
"French Conversation-Grammar", a talk by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá on the need
for a universal auxiliary language, Samuel Johnson's "A Grammar of
the English Tongue", several sections from Henry Sweet's "First
Steps in Anglo-Saxon", Lessons 1 - 5 from "Esperanto in Twenty
Lessons", two sections on language by Varro, a story in Latin from
"Fabulae Faciles", "Greek Lessons: 1-10", the Phonology Section
from a "Primer of Persian" and Lessons 1 - 19 from "A Practical
Arabic Course".
