I need more German pronunciation practice where I can match written words and sentences with spoken sounds. Any recs for things with accurate and complete German subtitles? Podcasts with transcripts maybe? No autogenerated transcripts. Audiobook-ebook pairs would be my absolute top choice.
The Goethe Inst practice is great aside from the fact that it takes fifteen seconds to complete one practice word and every tenth page fails to load. I'm doing it anyway but it is very frustrating.

Be aware that "Hochdeutsch" is not the everyday language, and there are many local variants.

@GustavinoBevilacqua it's a good basis though. I live in Bayern and can still get around with it. @iris

@GustavinoBevilacqua well that's mildly terrifying. I knew about the existence of High and Low German but thought it was strictly pronunciation.

I learned the dozen or so words I know in German from friends in Koblenz, and people from other areas notice that right away.

@GustavinoBevilacqua oh boy. The most fluent English-and-German speakers I'll get to learn from speak the Bavarian dialect. Where does that fit?

Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger had to be dubbed in the German version of his movies, because his Austrian accent was too heavy
