Modern German Pronunciation: An Introduction for Speakers of English

By Christopher Hall

Book Overview

The most complete guide available to the correct pronunciation of German for native English speakers. Revised and updated, a new feature for this edition is that the discussion of English-speaking learners' pronunciation problems has been extended to include American learners, reflecting the worldwide usage of the first volume. Each chapter deals with a separate aspect of the problems of modern German pronunciation; vowels, consonants, stress and intonation, and the reduced ('weak') forms of conversational pronunciation. Comprehensively illustrated with clear pronunciation and intonation diagrams emphasising common problems experienced when learning German. The manchesterhive website also gives readers access to 22 audio files which complement the content of the book, providing examples of pronunciation, stress and intonation, and listening exercises.
