Tips to Improve your German Pronunciation

Learn to listen

Before you learn how to speak, you’ll need to learn how to listen. Some sounds can be hard to tell apart when you’re listening.

Use a mirror. Notice how your mouth and lips move

When you speak, you move your mouth. How you move your mouth affects how you pronounce a word. The first step to correcting your mouth shape is to notice it and pay attention. There are a few ways you can check that your mouth and lips are making the correct shape:

  1. Use a mirror. This is by far the simplest way to tell what your mouth is doing while you talk.
  2. Put a finger in front of your lips (like you’re saying “shh”). As you speak, don’t move your finger. You should feel your lips moving away from or pushing against your finger.

Watch other people and notice the shape their mouth and lips make when they talk. Try following along with your favorite TV show or movie. Can you repeat the faces and sounds that the actors are making?

Break words down into sounds

Words are made up of parts. Turning words into parts can make them easier to pronounce.

Add stress to sounds and words

German is a stressed language. That means some words and sounds are more important than others. You can hear this when you say a word out loud. Sometimes where you put the stress in a word can change the word’s meaning.

Use pronunciation podcasts and videos

On Internet, there are some excellent video and audio guides on German pronunciations that you can use to improve your Pronunciation.

Record yourself

One way to tell if all your practice is working is to record yourself with a camera. Use a camera and not just a sound recorder because it’s important to see how you speak, not only hear it. Compare your recording to someone else saying the same words or sounds.

Practice with a buddy

As always, “Practice makes perfect!” And it’s easier to practice with a friend. Find someone to practice pronunciation with, either in person or through online communities like Language Exchange or InterPals.

Practicing with a buddy (friend) will give you a chance to try everything you learned, and learn new things from each other. Plus, it’s fun!

Problems that Faced by Highly Intelligent People

Pronunciation is as important to learning German as vocabulary and grammar. Thanks to these tips, you’ll soon be on your way to pronouncing German like a native.
