Annotations to the Video

ACHTUNG: This video says "Secretary Technique" which now is Presentation.

In the video above I assumed that you would work with a native speaker but have since then optimised the technique for self-learners that want or need to learn independently.

Use the video to get an overview and insight into the technique and then follow the step by step instructions below.

Not everyone is so lucky as to have a native speaker around at all times, but, thanks to modern yet easy to use technology, you are able to practice your free speaking skills almost on your own. The Secretary Technique is a powerful speaking practise and learning tool. All you need is a smartphone or a web browser. If you happen to know a German native speaker or advanced German learner (at least a very good level B2 CEFR) to check your work here and there, great. If not, no worries. You'll achieve your goal even without one. What you are about to learn is a technique that combines essential elements of dictations, writing and the preaching.
