You want to improve your German pronunciation? You want to work on those sounds that may not exist in your language?
In this course we train your German pronunciation (phonetics) of German words and phrases. We practice intensively the sounds of the German language, which may not exist in your native language and are difficult to learn. Together we learn where the emphasis within a sentence lies and how to achieve the correct speech rhythm.

Your teacher is a native German speaker and has a lot of experience in the field of phonetics, both from studies, as well as from actually practicing in German courses. Together we analyze the difficulties of the German pronunciation and practise speaking and listening with effective exercises.
