Features: To facilitate reader learning, the book has put considerable thought into its structural arrangement, dividing the content into nine chapters. First, it introduces basic German phonetics starting from the German alphabet, letter names, diagrams of the speech organs, and explanations of common terms, providing readers with a preliminary intuitive understanding of German pronunciation. Subsequently, focusing on vowels and consonants as the two key points, it systematically and comprehensively explains German pronunciation rules through five modules: pronunciation principles, reading exercises, discrimination exercises, fun pronunciation activities, and short reading passages. This organically integrates theoretical knowledge with practical exercises. After summarizing common German pronunciation rules, the book briefly introduces German word pronunciation and intonation in simple sentences. This enables German beginners to gain a relatively comprehensive understanding of German phonetics while laying a solid foundation for transitioning to grammar, vocabulary, and text-based exercises in the next steps. In addition to serving as a pronunciation textbook for professional German or first-year university German students, this book also meets the wishes and needs of German learners from various sectors and self-learners.
