He is the author of a method of training of the languages, In the Manner of learning the languages , appeared in 1768, in which he privileges the practice of the spoken language rather than the grammar exercises. He gives to it also a method of translation, initially consisting in translating the words to approach the syntax of the sentence then, while avoiding the literal translation and while endeavouring to reproduce the thought of the author. He is regarded as one of the first precursors of the global method and the methods of Speed reading.
