Summary: "The Aural System" by Charles Hardy is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book outlines a method for language learning that aims to facilitate the simultaneous mastery of speaking, understanding, reading, and writing in a foreign language. This approach emphasizes the importance of auditory learning and practice in acquiring language skills effectively. In "The Aural System," Hardy critiques traditional language learning methods, particularly those focused solely on grammar, asserting that they often leave students unable to effectively communicate in the language. He promotes a comprehensive and immersive technique involving simultaneous study and practice of speaking and listening, alongside the reading and writing of the target language. The book draws on Hardy's extensive experience as a linguist to propose that learners should work closely with teachers, engaging in aural exercises and dialogue. By advocating that foreign languages be learned similarly to how children acquire their mother tongue, Hardy seeks to enhance language acquisition efficiency and encourage self-sufficiency in language learners.
