Summary "An Introductorie for to Lerne to Read, To Pronounce, and to Speke French Trewly" is a grammar guide written in the late 16th century. This instructional text aims to teach readers how to read, pronounce, and speak French correctly, focusing specifically on methods to facilitate understanding and fluency in the language. The book appears to be compiled especially for Lady Mary of England, emphasizing its educational and noble purpose. The opening of this guide includes a prologue that acknowledges previous works on the French language, recognizing the difficulty of learning a language not native to one's heritage. The author expresses humility regarding his own expertise but describes his intention to compile rudimentary rules for reading and speaking French. The introduction sets the tone for an academic endeavor aimed at educating an elite audience on the intricacies of French pronunciation and grammar, outlining the structure of the text that will cover essential pronunciation rules, conjugations, and other grammatical aspects as it progresses.
