Pronunciation Training
Are you familiar with this situation? You have formed a grammatically correct sentence with the appropriate words, yet the other person does not understand you and responds with the answer: “Wie bitte?” (Excuse me?).
Or do you realize yourself that you pronounce a word incorrectly, but don’t know how you can say it differently so if sounds right? You can do something about that!
Our state-certified speech therapist attends to linguistic difficulties and helps you to improve your German pronunciation. The course is suitable for all levels from the basic level A1.1 to the highest level C2. In order to meet your personal needs, we recommend you to absolve the pronunciation coaching in private lessons. In groups of two we take care that both participants have a similar learning level and speak the same mother tongue.
Auditory training – Improving your German pronunciation starts with listening exercises. Our hearing is shaped by our mother tongue – we only hear and differentiate noises that we are familiar with. Since we can only produce sounds that we can hear, training and improving German pronunciation always means training your sense of hearing.
Training of articulation – We detect your individual difficulties with German pronunciation and show you training methods which can help you improve your pronunciation.
Some of the muscles used for the sounds of German are different from those used in your native language. Therefore, the muscles must be trained specifically.
