German vowels are a major obstacle to native English speakers, if not so much to speakers of other languages. English vowels have shifted a lot compared to the vowels in most other European languages, or even languages as far as Swahili and Indonesian! So if you want to have a good accent in just about any language, you have to learn how to pronounce pure vowels. This lesson is the first step, dealing with German dark vowels (A, O and U) only. The next accent improvement lesson will continue from there.
GermanPod101’s Accent Improvement Series is aimed at German learners of all levels and all countries, but focussing particularly on English native speakers and their typical problems in German pronunciation.
