Practise German pronunciation with this 70-slide PowerPoint. It is suitable for all levels from beginners to A-Level, and can be used whenever the students struggle with a certain sound. This version includes all the word lists read out by a native speaker. There is a presentation-only version available to buy. It covers the main difficult letters/letter combinations like ‘ie’ and ‘ei’, ‘sp’ and ‘st’ and ‘J’. The sounds are practiced with the following activities: listen and repeat contrasting pairs (for students to work out the pronunciation), listen and point to what sound you hear, pair work, tongue twisters and a rule to copy down if possible. The presentation is meant to be presented in chunks, when students come across a new sound or before speaking exams. Note: the slides are not in alphabetical order but in order of how common the problem is. There is a hyperlinked index.

This is an introduction with exercises on how to use the Collins online dictionary and how to avoid common pitfalls when translating. No preparation or printing required and all tasks will mark themselves. The examples used are in German but no prior knowledge of German is required so it could be used for students of other languages as the principles of using a dictionary will be the same. A French version is available from my shop. This activity covers: • different meanings • parts of speech • conjugation and verb tables • gender • plurals • pronunciation • idioms
