Because you wish to communicate with Germans in your country and in Germany.&nbsp; If you are properly understood, does not only depend on whether you have mastered vocabulary and grammar. Phonetics are also an important factor. In addition to correctly pronouced phonemes, intonation and stress of sentences and phrases play an important role, that your interlocutor can understand your German best.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><B>How are phonetics being trained</B>?</DIV> <DIV>So that the pronunciation training can succeed, it must be done in didactically useful structured exercises. For this you start slowly with introductory exercises to set focus, then gradually proceed with discrimination and mimicry exercises to freer training modules.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><B>What materials are being used in the training</B>? </DIV> <DIV>Pronunciation training belongs to daily classroom activities just like the regular practice of reading, listening, speaking, writing and grammar skills. Especially when you start learning a foreign language, your efforts must be coached by a teacher who pronouces the phonemes, words and sentences to you, explains rules and gives a helping hand. Lecturers of the Goethe Institute have developed a broad variety of interesting and interactive exercises, that will be used to practice communication with the use of everyday German. A compilation of the best practices, adapted to the vocabulary of our textbooks, gurantees good results in the field of phonetics.</DIV> <DIV><BR><IMG src="/news/uploadfile/UploadFile/20111028105723415.jpg" border=0><BR></DIV> <DIV><B>How is the phonetics course being offered</B>?</DIV> <DIV>The course will be your companion during the first 4 weeks of your language class at Goethe Center.
