German Pronunciation (I)
When you study German pronunciation on this page, each sound is associated with a letter or
a letter-combination, some examples of English words that have this sound, and then some
German words plus sound-examples.
Vowels:
Note: The umlauts (ä, ö and ü) are particularly difficult to master. Listen carefully to
the sound examples and always repeat after every single one.
| | | Italian Examples: | |  | Rad, fahren | | | lachen, Kamm | | | Käse, ähnlich | | | härter, lächeln | | | Feder, lesen | | | Wetter, gelb | | | Igel, ihnen | | | innen, schwimmen | | | Sofa, Los | | | Gott, Topf | | | lösen, böse | | | Börse, gönnen | | | Schule, Krug | | | Luft, Bus | | | Güte, lügen | | | schütten, lüften |
Consonants:
| | | Italian Examples | | c | | Centrum, Computer | | g | | Griff, geben | | h | | helfen, Hand | | j | | Jahr, jung | | r | | Rathaus, rechts, richtig | | s | | sicher, Neuseeland | | ß | | Fuß, Straße
Switzerland: use ss instead of ß | | v | | Vater, Vogel | | w | | wenn, Wasser | | z | | Zebra, Zar |
- We produce the r in German by using our throat and creating some sort of gurgling sound. The r
is probably the most difficult sound for native English speakers to master. Don't be afraid though
to simply pronounce it your way. By the way: There are big differences in the way, the r is pronounced
throughout the German speaking world. For example in Switzerland and parts of southern Germany,
the r is rolled like in Spanish or Italian.
- The ß in German is like an s or ss in English.
