FAQ
Common questions.
How do I pronounce the umlauts?
Ü, ö, ä — say /i/, /e/, /a/ with rounded lips. AnyAccent uses progressive drills (round lips → say vowel → check pitch) and scores umlaut placement separately from the base vowels.
Is this Hochdeutsch or a regional German accent?
The de-DE model targets Hochdeutsch — the broadcast standard. Bavarian, Austrian, and Swiss German have distinct phonology and are not modeled here.
What is "final-obstruent devoicing"?
German devoices final consonants — "Tag" is /taːk/, "Bund" is /bʊnt/. AnyAccent flags it because English speakers rarely devoice and it marks them instantly.
How long until I sound German?
Umlauts take 2–3 weeks of consistent drilling. The ich-laut (/ç/) and ach-laut (/x/) take longer — most learners reach conversational naturalness in 8–12 weeks.
