Talking English - Pronunciation Studio

After six months of planning and hesitation, I’ve finally decided to publish this project.
(Nach sechs Monaten Planung und Zögern habe ich mich endlich entschieden, dieses Projekt zu veröffentlichen.)

I wanted everything to be perfectly structured before going live — but waiting too long only delayed its purpose.
(Ich wollte, dass alles perfekt strukturiert ist, bevor es online geht – aber zu langes Warten hat nur seinen Zweck hinausgezögert.)

So now, I’m sharing it as it stands — a work in motion, a living project that will grow and improve over time.
(Also teile ich es jetzt so, wie es ist – ein fortlaufendes Werk, ein lebendiges Projekt, das mit der Zeit wachsen und sich verbessern wird.)

I hope the “imperfect version” helps or inspires you in some way and you come back from time to time to see what I have managed to improve.
(Ich hoffe, dass die „unvollkommene Version“ Ihnen auf irgendeine Weise hilft oder Sie inspiriert – und dass Sie von Zeit zu Zeit zurückkehren, um zu sehen, was ich verbessern konnte.)
