Dialect reduc­tion

Per­haps you do allow on occa­si­ons some ele­ment of inad­ver­tent intru­sion of some regio­nal dialect? And in the same vein you would per­haps like to get rid of it and speak stan­dard Ger­man so that you inter­ac­tion with your col­le­agues and others in the society would be unex­cep­tionable? Then it is only appro­priate that you attend this seminar. 

Stan­dard High Ger­man has estab­lished its­elf firmly in all walks of pro­fes­sio­nal life and has gone on to acquire an iden­tity of the lan­guage in socie­tal cir­cles. Any strong regio­nal accent, dialect or any other form of regio­nal varia­tion is asso­cia­ted with incom­pe­tence and inef­fi­ci­ency. A mark­edly pro­no­un­ced dialect such as for exam­ple Saxon or Swa­bish does bring on dif­fi­cul­ties in pro­fes­sio­nal life and com­pli­ca­tes the mat­ter of easy assi­mi­la­tion and adapt­a­tion in a typi­cally Ger­man set up. In this dialect reduc­tion course you will learn the stan­dard High Ger­man into­na­tion and you will break down obs­truc­tive bar­riers. With the bene­fit of a cle­arly audi­ble stan­dard High Ger­man pro­nun­cia­tion, doors open up for you in inter­views, con­ver­sa­ti­ons, lec­tures and even in ordi­nary ever­y­day speech. You do con­vey on impres­sion of being com­pe­tent, fle­xi­ble and posi­tive person.
