Training-German-Speech-Sounds

This web project aims to let beginner level learners of German practice their pronunciation of German speech sounds by 3 types of tasks. In order to practice your pronunciation skills of the German vowels and vowel combinations (so-called diphthongs), you can listen to / watch sound or video files and identify the correct pronunciation of a German word. To practice your German consonant pronunciation, you can listen to the pronunciation of a German word and complete the written word below the sound or video file. You can practice your German word stress skills by clicking on the stressed syllable of a word. If you want to practice some German specialities, like final devoicing, the final "r" or the unstressed "e", there are also categories for that.
You can stop practicing at any time you like while you solve tasks in a Category; your score is saved nevertheless. Mainly due to the unreliability of such tools, this page does not offer a speech recognition tool. Repeating the words as you play the sound or video file will also help you with your pronunciation skills.
All sound or video material display the pronunciation of Standard German, or "Deutsche Hochlautung".
