Modern German Pronunciation: An Introduction for Speakers of English

By Christopher Hall

Book Overview

"Modern German pronunciation offers a complete guide to the correct pronunciation of German for native speakers of English." "The reader is first introduced to the problems of modern German pronunciation and the basic concepts of phonetics. The following chapters then take each separate aspect of pronunciation in turn: consonants, vowels, stress and intonation, and the conversational pronunciation of German with its many reduced or 'weak' forms." "The text is comprehensively illustrated with clear pronunciation and intonation diagrams and the emphasis throughout is on the problems that speakers of English are known to encounter when learning to speak German."--BOOK JACKET.
