Hey there!
I'm a German native speaker. I think the best way to improve your pronunciation is by watching a lot of YouTube tutorials on German pronunciation. There are some very good videos out there that can teach you how to pronounce tricky sounds like r, ch and ü correctly. I also recommend talking to yourself in your target language. Even if you can’t speak very fast or pronounce everything like a native speaker, just do it. I do this quite a lot with English and it really helped me with both pronunciation and speech tempo. Also, repeat the words as often as you can. There’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to pronounce everything with no accent at all, but this is a problem all speakers of any second language face and it shouldn’t discourage you. In the end grammar is much more important than a flawless pronunciation. <: Also, what dictionary do you use? I use
dict for translating words into English, but it’s also very helpful the other way around. The voice recordings can help you with the pronunciation
Also, there’s a YouTube channel called Easy German. The teacher speaks very slowly and extremely clear, I think this could be a good source for learning German. Oh and do you like singing? Singing can help with pronunciation because the syllables are stretched out and the pace is slower than in normal speech. This is why a lot of singers seem to lose their accent when they’re singing. Try to sing along to some German Disney songs for example.
This is all I could currently think of. I don’t know how long you’ve been learning German, but with some dedication you will get there eventually, even if it takes some time. <: If you need some help or anything feel free to PM me!
