Every month the new online and offline pronunciation training courses in Berlin start again at Kapitel Zwei Berlin.
Whether virtual or real life lessons – our German courses remain high quality, professional, well-founded and reliable.
You want to improve your German pronunciation? You want to work on those sounds that may not exist in your language?
In this course we train your German pronunciation (phonetics) of German words and phrases. We practice intensively the sounds of the German language, which may not exist in your native language and are difficult to learn. Together we learn where the emphasis within a sentence lies and how to achieve the correct speech rhythm.

Teaching materials for pronunciation training
The costs for the copies are not included in the course price. In class you work with exercises from special phonetic books and small simple texts. Your teacher will adjust the necessary exercises to the course each time. You work with copies that you will get from your teacher.
Teacher for the phonetics course
Your teacher is a native German speaker and has a lot of experience in the field of phonetics, both from studies, as well as from actually practicing in German courses. Together we analyze the difficulties of the German pronunciation and practise speaking and listening with effective exercises.
You will notice how your pronunciation improves and that you will become more secure. Soon you will speak German with joy and confidence.
The group is very small, in order for you to learn more effectively and to speak more often.
