abstract = {Learners with different native language backgrounds often show
problems in the acquisition of German vowels caused by interferences of the phonological
vowel system of the native language with the complex German vowel system.
German not only distinguishes between tense and lax vowels but also between
short and long vowels. The aim of the vowel trainer is to help learners of German
with different native language backgrounds to train and acquire the correct
pronunciation of vowels with respect to quality and quantity. Using a game-like
pronunciation training system, users can learn intuitively. This way, no provision
of phonetic information about the production of German vowels, the German vowel
system, and specific differences to the native language of the learner are necessary.},
