Hi Ash, Thanks so much for the amazing feedback. We're thrilled to hear that the program is working for you. We don't have plans to include a pronunciation recognition though. Firstly, we don't believe the technology available is at a sophisticated enough level to always give accurate feedback, and when speaking any language there is so much to be considered such as the pitch, the tone, the speed of what is being said, if the speaker has an accent, which syllables or words to stress etc. Secondly, we want to avoid telling a user through our course that something is being said correctly or not after being analyzed by the program when they would likely be understood speaking on the street.
We hope this puts things into perspective.
Best wishes with continuing your German!

Ashmana, you can use your phone with something like google translate or any voice regognition software that has german in it, and just speak those sentences to the phone to see if it recognizes what you say. I've used this method for spanish and chinese and it's worked great to correct myself.

I totally agree with adding in random sentences, instead of constantly repeating the same ones, just in a different format!
