<br/>   abstract  = {This contribution reports first activities towards the development of a computeraided
pronunciation environment for teaching Mandarin to Germans. This 3-year-project is
funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research. Based on a contrastive analysis of
Mandarin and German, a preliminary study of learner errors was conducted. We collected
perception as well as production data from 19 German first-year students of Mandarin at FU
Berlin in order to perform an evaluation of actual errors as perceived by native speakers of
Mandarin. These outcomes are utilized to fine-tune the actual training systems a general
outline of which is also presented in this paper.},
