Glossika German pronunciation.

Postby mentecuerpo » Mon Nov 04, 2019 3:05 am

I wonder about the German pronunciation in Glossika.

Is it good enough?
Is it great?
Is it average?

My hearing is not used to the German language, but when I hear the Glossika phrases, it sounds different from the German I hear on other audio files.

I have no problems with Latin languages in Glossika, I have tried French, Italian and Spanish.

I have problems doing pronunciation drills with Glossika German.

Thanks.

I decreased the speed to 75% and lowered the interval between sentences 2X.

These settings helped. My native language is Spanish; the Glossika Latin languages are not very difficult to listening and pronouncing.
I am struggling with Glossika German.

I know the speaker for the recordings speaks fast, and this is in function to increase fluency, but I am interested in pronouncing correctly. I learn new words when I put effort into learning the correct pronunciation and correcting mistakes.

I like Glossika because it gives a lot of words very quickly in random order. Glossika German will probably get more manageable for me with time, as I make progress with the language. German is a challenge for me. I like this challenge.

It may be a good idea because you have achieved an intermediate Russian level, and you may enjoy it more: you can easily do 100 reps per day, and maybe 25 daily complete reviews. Do the new trial and see how you use it. I know it is expensive, but if you use it, It will probably be a good investment of your time and money.
