How to learn pronunciation in a foreign language This is an unconventional addition from the classical singer world, though it’s an approach backed up by some wonderful teachers. Speaking a language with a good accent isn’t a matter of sounding good and impressing people; it changes the way you listen to the language, and it changes the way people speak to you. Most importantly, it helps you learn faster, since hard-to-pronounce words are substantially harder to memorize. As you connect what you hear with what you read and what you say, you’re tightening the connections between every facet of the language. It makes vocabulary easier to learn, it brings that vocabulary to your tongue with more ease, and it makes native speakers continue to speak to you in the language instead of switching to English out of pity, desperation or frustration.

German verb conjugation/Deutsche Verbe Konjugationen Contents Introduction Gremple is a German verb conjugation tool. Its purpose to help non-native speakers to learn to conjugate German verbs. The idea underlying Gremple is to develop a precise description of German verb conjugation, with a minimum of data stored for each verb, and as much of the work of conjugation as reasonably possible transferred into a system of rules. This aids learning because it is easier to understand a system of rules, particularly where their underlying motivation is reasonably apparent, than to memorise a large quantity of apparently disordered (and therefore meaningless) data. 20th Century - German Literature In the 20th century the following events occurred: the First World War (1914-18); the Second World War (1939-45) and the Holocaust (Shoah); and the Cold War between the USA and the USSR which led to the division of Germany. Germany began the 20th century as an Empire under the rule of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In November 1918 Germany had a Revolution which led to the abdication of the Kaiser and the creation of the Weimar Republic. The Weimar Republic existed from 1918-1933, and the Third Reich existed from 1933-1945. The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) [die Bundesrepublik Deutschland, BRD] and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) [die Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR] were both formed in 1949.
