Pronunciation TipsHere are some tips for pronouncing German words correctly:

Vowels: German vowels are generally pronounced shorter and more clearly than English vowels. The "a" sound is similar to the "a" in "father," the "e" sound is similar to the "e" in "bed," the "i" sound is similar to the "i" in "sit," the "o" sound is similar to the "o" in "cone," and the "u" sound is similar to the "oo" in "boot."
Consonants: German consonants are pronounced more forcefully than English consonants. The "c" sound is always hard, like the "c" in "cat." The "g" sound is always hard, like the "g" in "go." The "j" sound is pronounced like the "y" in "yes." The "r" sound is rolled, like the "r" in Spanish.
Diphthongs: German diphthongs are combinations of two vowels that are pronounced together as a single syllable. The most common diphthongs are "ei" (pronounced like the "i" in "bite"), "au" (pronounced like the "ow" in "cow"), and "eu" (pronounced like the "oy" in "toy").
