An Intermediate German Reader with Interlinear English Translation, as adapted to the Hamiltonian system [Paperback]

Total 210 pages.

The Hamiltonian system of learning languages with interlinear translation is an approach to language learning that incorporates the use of interlinear translations as a learning tool. The term "Hamiltonian" here is a reference to the interlinear translations developed by Edward Hamilton, an influential language educator. In this system, an interlinear translation consists of a line-by-line translation of a text, with the original language on one line and the corresponding translation on the line below it. This allows learners to directly associate words, phrases, and sentence structures in the target language with their equivalent meanings in their native language. The Hamiltonian system is often used in the context of reading and understanding texts in a foreign language. By having the translation immediately available, learners can grasp the meaning of the text more easily and make connections between the two languages. It helps develop vocabulary, comprehension skills, and a deeper understanding of grammar.

This book, whose full name is Die Geschichte Des Kleinen Jack: Adapted For Teaching And Learning The German Language is a vastly useful book for those who studied German but not yet ready for being exposed to original texts in German. If you have recently finished Deutsch nach der naturmethode, this book could be your next pick. Give it a try!
