Harold E. Palmer Oral Method of Teaching Languages

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A few months ago, when I was busy correcting the proofs of my Principles of Language Study, one of my colleagues asked me why that book Should not be followed up by one to be entitled How to Conduct a Conversation Course.
