French words with Eng- glish pronunciation will help you very little when talking to a Frenchman. But live in a family, where you can hear French spoken every day, and you will soon be able to understand and speak it yourself. That is exactly what you accomplish when you secure AnEdison Language Phonograph It talks to you as often and as long as you wish, just when it suits you to listen, and it talks in the very best and most colloquial French. It gives you the perfect accent, as well as the words; and the lessons are so arranged that your eye follows the printed page, while your ear receives the sound. It is like having a HLA French tutor in the house all the time. The Phonograph Language Club Offers you a specially equipped Edison Phonograph, with 25 moulded records of J'rench, German or Spanish lessons, as you elect, and four cloth-bound text-books of the complete language course. And you can buy the out- fit for $5 Down and $5 a Month And the Phonograph can be used as an entertainer as well, for all Edison Records can be used svith it, of course. ‘Come i in and hear the Phonographs, and let us explain the Language Study Club to you, and Jet you hear a sam- ple lesson free.
