    German Alphabet And Pronunciation


    Overview: - In this lesson, Prof. Akshay Rahtan, Founder & CEO of AcharyaKülam Institute, A
    Unit of Rahtan Group, shares the German alphabet and pronunciation.

     In Germany the alphabet has 26 letters, 3 German umlauts (Ä, Ö, and Ü) and one ligature (ß).
     Some Letters are pronounced very similar to the English pronunciation, but some others are a very
    different.
     Just read many times to the German letters and sounds will become familiar. Also, don’t get confused
    by our special letters Ä, Ö, Ü and ß.
     The pronunciation is not difficult. Some letters sound very similar in German and English. It depends
    on whether you consider the umlauts and ß, read to the alphabet a few times.
     The five letters A, E, I, O and U of the German alphabet are called Vokale (vowels), and the other
    letters are called Konsonanten (consonants) – for example: B, C, D, F, G, H….and so on.
     We use the German alphabet not only in Germany but also in Austria, Switzerland And German has a
    so-called extended Latin alphabet.
     The W in German sounds like the V in English, and the V in German sounds like the F in English.
     Most of the time the S in German sounds like Z in English when placed at the beginning of a word
    followed by a vowel.
     All letters of the German alphabet have the same article: das (das A, das B etc.)
