- Summary
- The old saying that 'it's not what you say so much as how you say it' is often found true in everyday human relations, and could well be applied to the business of speaking foreign languages--both 'what you say' and 'how you say it' are important. Much as been and is being written on the subject of 'what you say' in foreign language learning; the present volume consists of articles dealing almost exclusively with 'how you say it'. Together they span a quarter of a century, some having appeared in periodicals, some having been broadcast scripts. All the texts have been left unaltered, since it was felt that little in them had become so out of date as to be misleading. If certain remarks strike the reader as inapplicable at the time of publication, they are asked to bear in mind the date when they were made.
