German Pronunciation and Conversation   by Ucb Jerke

When you learn a new language, what should you stress? Vocabulary, grammar or speaking? Probably you shouldn’t stress none of them at all if you haven’t learned the pronunciation yet. Although I am not the idiot who always treats the pronunciation as their topmost agenda, I think we should learn an understandable pronunciation in German, so that what we speak in the future can be easily accepted by those speakers. Aside from pronunciation, conversation is another thing for you to stress, for speaking a fluent German should be your final destination after all. Now let’s look at the pronunciation first.

You know that English has vowels and consonants, so does German. German and English, the two languages have so much association that you cannot ignore their similarities while you are learning German. To be honest if you have learned their similarities, you will learn the German pronunciation more easily. At least you will get to know more background information of German language. One of their similarities is that English and German are all from the Germanic language. Indeed, in this case you will find English words are sometimes like German words and sometimes vice verse. But their differences may help you on the other hand. One of their differences is German words are pronounced hard and quick while English words are softer and slower. So when you learn to pronounce words, you shall not copy your English way of pronouncing words. Besides, German vowels are divided into long vowels and short ones, and the short vowels are always pronounced in a very clipped manner. When learning German vowels, you had better not leave this point alone. Instead you have to stress this. Another general idea on learning German pronunciation is you should try to slow down your speed when speaking the German words, so that you can speak each of them clearly and correctly. Certainly I said German words are pronounced quick, but being quick is not suitable in this manner.

In addition to pronunciation, you should have an emphasis on the German conversation, but pronunciation is your base to converse well. If you don’t have a good pronunciation, you can speak German, but your language would be a little difficult for others to digest. But today you have it, everything is done. How to practice your conversation? Don’t worry! Today we have the German advanced learning tools, one them is Rosetta Stone German. Inside such a software you can use the virtual conversations designed for different levels of German learners to continue your learning. Even though you don’t know so much on German grammar rules, you can speak German sentences fluently as you think. Why? Rosetta Stone German tells you the natural way of learning one language. I want to ask you if you tried to translate English into another language when you began English so many years before? No, of course not! So Rosetta Stone German just does the similar thing. It treats this language as your first language and uses the immersing way to let you touch and comprehend German. Isn’t it good? Maybe some people may think this is bad, for no translation is the biggest block for the German beginners. But you will understand Rosetta Stone’s manners later if you are with it.

In fact, not only can you use such a language software to conduct your German acquisition, but also you can find German natives to practice German. How? You can get on Facebook chatting with the German natives and you can speak with the Germans near your residence too. Don’t worry you cannot find those people! You can definitely find them if you really want. Your passion for learning German can guide your way.
