Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreigners' Guide to English Some of the foreigners who come to make their home in the United States have been well educated in their own countries; some may have received a certain degree of education; others have had no education whatever. All, however, need to become acquainted with the English language. Most of them work long hours during the daytime and often at places where they hear little or no English. Their evening class is sometimes the only place where they can hear the language properly spoken. Most of them think, when they come to this country, that the English language is difficult to acquire. Hence the first lessons should be simple, with results that may be readily seen by teacher and pupil alike. They should find their lessons interesting and should see that they are useful. In order that they may be satisfied, great effort should be made to stimulate them, to make each lesson of some intrinsic value, and to present the study of English in as interesting a way as possible. Through daily contact outside the school-room with persons of different nationalities, the author of this book has learned which of the peculiarities of the English language are most difficult for them, and also what vocabulary is requisite for their everyday life. This book is written to present these particular things, and at the same time to familiarize the pupil with the idiomatic expressions most commonly used.
