Assignment for Pronunciation Practice: Sounds of German

Since our SLO for this semester will be "speaking", click on this link: "Die Laute des Deutschen",  This comes from the University of Iowa "Sounds of Speech" series.  Of course, you can explore the entire site, but right now, focus on the "Monodipthonge", including "vorn", zentral" and "hinten."  When you click on a pronunciation symbol, such as /y/, you will bring up the video window with sound files for each example.  Go through all three of these categories and practice, practice, practice!   Nicht vergessen:  Übung macht den Meister! (oder die Meisterin).
