PHONETIC INTERFERENCE IN LEARNING GERMAN AS A SECOND FOREIGN LANGUAGE
The article is devoted to the topic of phonetic interference and how it affects the learning of the German language. The purpose of the study is to consider the main difficulties that arise in the process of learning German after learning English. The author uses data obtained during a survey of students of the Moscow State Linguistic University and students of the pre-university. The relevance of the topic covered in this article is due to the fact that due to the globalization of the English language, German language learners have difficulties. The methods used in the study include analysis, description, observation, and comparison. The results of the study showed that most of the difficulties for students of German arise due to differences in the pronunciation of identical letters and letter combinations, as well as in fully and incompletely assimilated borrowings from English. In this regard, it is concluded that teachers of the German language must include in the course of training exercises aimed at overcoming incorrectly formed phonetic skills due to the transfer of reading rules from one language to another and take into account the rules of reading borrowings.
