Sprechen Teil 1: Sich vorstellen
The German School – original
Stellen Sie sich vor. Sagen Sie zu jeder Karte einen Satz. (Introduce yourself – one sentence per card. Listen to the model, record yourself and compare.)
Your browser cannot read texts aloud. Please open this page in Chrome, Edge or Safari – or open the transcript and read it instead.
No German voice was found on this device, so the audio may sound English. Add one: Windows → Settings → Time & language → Speech → add Deutsch; Android → Settings → Text-to-speech → install German; iPhone/Mac → Accessibility → Spoken content → Voices → Deutsch. Chrome on a computer usually has “Google Deutsch” built in.
So geht's: 1. Read the card and answer aloud. 2. Record yourself and listen back. 3. Check with speech recognition (Chrome / Edge / Safari) or tick the checklist. 4. Compare with the model answer.
Speech recognition is not available in this browser (e.g. Firefox) – use the checklist under each card instead.
Recording needs microphone access (and a secure https page).
