You will hear a series of recordings of different speakers reading and speaking German words, phrases and texts. Some excerpts are very brief, others last up to 1 minute. For each different speaker/item, please judge whether you think the speaker is a native German speaker (i.e. German is his/her mother tongue). Also, please assess how confident you are in each item judgment. You may note a particular feature of that speaker's speech that influenced your judgment (e.g. a certain sound, word, stress or intonation pattern, or any aspect of his/her language).

You may pause between each task to record your response. If absolutely necessary, you may rewind to listen a second time. Thank you very much for your time.
