The Pronunciation mode for our Sentence Builder lessons features instant diagnostic feedback that allows students to understand exactly which chunks have been recorded correctly / incorrectly in real-time.
Instructions
-
Go to the Sentence Builder lesson you'd like to learn. These lessons are labelled with a red SB tag, so it's easy to find.
-
You can have a quick look at the Lesson Script from the Pronunciation Preview to see a transcript of the conversation and the different variations for specific chunks within the sentences.
-
Hover on the gear icon to show Script Controls where you can switch the voice, adjust the audio speed, or toggle the script into English (or your base language).
-
Click Start Lesson and choose Pronunciation under Game Mode.
-
Select your preferred Target Accuracy, then click Play!
-
The lesson starts with the native speaker talking to you and asking you a question. The text box at the top shows the script in the target language. There is a back button (available if you're further into the conversation) and a play button to replay the video. When it's your turn to respond, the video will pause and the microphone will start recording your response.
-
ImmerseMe will identify which parts of the sentences are pronounced correctly or incorrectly. Completed chunks will display in green within the lesson. If you don't get the sentence or certain chunks correct, it will identify which ones they are so that you could work them out and continue through the lesson.
In this example, the pop-up shows that we didn't pronounce begeistert quite right. To listen to the pronunciation again, click the play button, and to start recording the chunk, press the green microphone.
-
You can also modify specific chunks within sentences using the ▲ or ▼ arrows. For this example, you can choose alternatives for Schokofrüchte, one of which is Bratwurst, as shown below. Now, record the sentence with the specific chunk you've chosen.
