Welcome to the German Pronunciation Coaching Program
Do you want to speak German more fluently and clearly? Then take advantage of the pronunciation services offered by the ZSK's German as a Foreign Language Department. Our pronunciation coaches will help you to improve your German pronunciation.
The service is aimed at international students and applicants of the University of Regensburg with a language level of A2 or higher.
The focus of the pronunciation coaching program is on individual one-on-one training. Workshops for small groups are also available.
Individual Pronunciation Coaching (one-on-one training)
| In one-on-one sessions, our pronunciation coaches work specifically on your individual pronunciation challenges and help you become more confident in your everyday speech. With individualized exercises and goal-oriented feedback, we work on sounds, intonation and speech rhythm - all in a relaxed and motivating learning environment. |
Take advantage of our offer to optimize your pronunciation in a total of 5 individual sessions per semester.
Sign up now for a one-on-one consultation by filling out and submitting the registration form below.
Pronunciation Workshops (small group training)
Our pronunciation workshops offer you the opportunity to work intensively on your pronunciation in a small, supportive group. The personal atmosphere allows you to benefit from individual feedback and to practice what you have learned.
A workshop consists of three sessions of 2 hours each, held over the course of the semester. Participants are expected to attend all three sessions to ensure continuous and effective small group work on pronunciation.
You can register by filling out and submitting the form below.
