    When it comes to the "ich" sound, e.g. in "ich liebe dich", try to say the English word "huge" with an exaggerated "h" in the beginning. THAT's the sound that you need. Every person that can pronounce a consonantal "Y" is able to pronounce the "ich" sound. Try to say "yes" very slowly and simply exhale right before you actually pronounce the "y". That's the sound that you need.

    Hi! Do yo know Dimash Kudaibergen? He is a 26yo Kazakh singer and getting to be a wordl star - in Asia and post soviet countries already is. If you decide to listen to him you can hear songs from so many countries- he can sing on 12 languages. He speaks in Russian fluently, his Chinese Mandarin and Italian pronunciation is excellent (as said it the native speakers) And what is the most important he has a unique beautiful poverful voice with 6 octave range and extraordinary capability to convey the emotions and the message of the song directly to our heart. He has a unique crossover style he can sing in any genre what he wants - blending classical operatic and contemporary elements - pop rock traditional ethnical RNB jazz and so on...He is not just a singer but also a composer and multiinstrumentalist...So if you don't know him yet you shouldn't miss! Hard to chose one song - but I recommend you which one was my first: S.O.S. (in French) on Slavic Bazar 2018. live performance.kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWZt3KeuirnHqNY.html And if you like it I can offer songs in Kazakh, Russian, English, Chinese, ( and some in Ukrain, Turkisch) Greetings from Hungary!

    Brian! You are doing great. I am hungarian and learned both english and german. My best advice is: let go of the thought of "I must look and sound pretty stupid" whilst speaking or saying words. Just go for it. For me and my friends it felt really weird at first to say any english word that has "th" in it. And the same thing in german with "ch" (like in "echt?!"). Sounds funny at first, but the more you say it, the more comfortable you get and the better you will be. Keep up the good work! 🥰

    You're doing really good! Dont worry mate, we all are worried about our pronounciations when we speak other languages, but for me as a German, lemme tell you: You sound adoreable when speaking german, so need to feel stupid or ashamed! And if you ever wonder why some Germans in there videos sound a bit different to the audio example, it's cause we have sooo many dialects in Germany. These vary from slight ephasizing differences to words being competely different, so Germans from different areas may not understand each other anymore.

    That was actually pretty good! A tip on pronounciation: you might want to practise the "ch" on its own, since it can be hard for english speakers. It is a sound that mostly is made in the throat and less with the teeth or tongue. Maybe it helps you if try to combine the sound that it makes when you clean your throat with imitating the sound of wind ^^ it's hard to describe how to pronounce it XD

    Here are some tips that might help for some special letters/combinations and their pronounciation: ch is not pronounced like in English, so you said ich wrong at 8:49, but it sounded all right at 8:01 This letter can also be pronounced as a k but I think that's rarer. I'd advise you to look up instructions because this letter is a special case and it could be hard to pronounce for someone who hasn't done it in the past. ei is pronounced like in Frankenstein in English. So when you said nein wrong, that was the problem. Actually nein in German is pronounced like nine (9) in English, sometimes people make jokes out of this. So remember German ei is pronounced as i in English nine. eu is pronounced like oy in English. For example Europe is Europa and it is pronounced like oyropa, this means, that everything having to do with the continent is also pronounced that way, like Euro (€)->oyro. ie is just a longer version of the German i. It's pronounced like in the English words hit, did, in but longer, so ie sounds like the ee in deep for example. sch is like sh in English. That threw me off a bit when I was learning English and I found out that the first letters in school are not pronounced the same way as the sch in the German word for it: Schule. So instead of the English sk, you say it as the English sh. The German language has some vowels English doesn't have, with 2 dots above them: ä, ö, ü ä is pronounced like the first e in elephant. But watch out because the the German e can also be pronounced like that. Example: ändern (to change something) ö is like the o in English word or world. Example: Fön (hairdryer) I don't have any examples for ü, I think there are no pronounciations like that in English so you should look it up and practice it. There is also a combination of ä and u, which is the same as eu. Example: sich äußern (to express, to say something). The s is interesting because it has 3 options in total. It can be s like in English, often it is said like the English z (this is what you heard in super) and sometimes it's also pronounced like sh in English. I think it has a pretty consistent rule, so if a word starts with st, it is pronounced like sh in English. Example: Start, stumm (mute), Stempel (stamp). You were right about w, that is pronounced like v in English. V in German can also be pronounced the same way. Example: Vase (vase, pot) but it is mostly pronounced like f. Example: verrückt (crazy, weird), Vater (father), Verlag (publisher). You pronounced tschüß right at 7:45, so keep that up :) Yo are right about the r sound. Make sure to not put much emphasys on it when talking in German. It's there but often you won't hear it when native speakers speak or at least not much. Especially at the end of a word. I think you are on the right way. The app looks good too. You get a pronounciation from a natvie speaker and one where it's more clear how to say it. Keep in mind, the videos with random people have background noise and they could speak different dialects too. I'd suggest listening to as much native German text as possible. My native language is Hungarian but I've learnt German since kindergarden and I've always watched German television programs as a kid so later I didn't even bother learning most of the rules because most of the time I can hear if something is wrong or right. So it helped a lot. Also I'm working at a helpline for German customers for 5 years so even after finishing school I still use the German language mostly daily. Good luck on your further studies! :)

    @@der_fuxs Danke für die Antwort! Ich wollte darüber erlich sein, dass meine Muttersprache nicht Deutsch ist aber ich hatte auch Angst, dass meine Tips deswegen nicht vertrauenswürdig scheinen, deshalb habe ich auch beschrieben wie ich die Sprache gelernt habe und benutze. Aber wenn jemand aus Deutschland meine Tips bestätigt, dann ist das für mich und für alle die den Kommentar lesen besser :)

    The "ch" pronounced like a "k" is ONLY then correct if it's followed by a consonant, e.g. "Fuchs" (pronounced like "Fuks") or "Chrom" (pronounced like "Krom"). Other than that, pronouncing it as a "k" is not the norm, it's only found regionally. For instance, Berliners will say "ick" instead of "ich" and Bavarians will say "Kemie" instead of "Chemie", but outside of those regions it will simply sound wrong. The vowel "i" can be both long and short. So it can be short like in "did", "hit" etc, but it can ALSO be long like in "dir" (which is literally pronounced like "deer"). In fact, this goes for ALL vowels, _including the Umlauts Ä, Ö and Ü._ They all have a short and a long pronunciation, which is dependent on the amount of vowels and the amount of consonants that follow them. For example, if there's a double vowel, you can be sure that it's *long* ("Haar", "Beet", "Miete", "Boot"). If there's a double consonant, you can be sure that the preceding vowel is *short* ("Hass", "Bett", "Mitte", "voll", "Schmuck"). However, if there's only one vowel and only one consonant after it, there's no clear rule; it's mostly long, but there can be exceptions. Words with "St" AND with "Sp" will turn into "Scht" and "Schp" respectively. So "Start" is pronounced like "Schtart" as you already mentioned, and "Sport" turns into "Schport". And that applies ONLY if the "St" or "Sp" are at the *beginning* of a syllable. So words like "Mast" and "Wespe" will NOT have a "scht" or "schp" sound in them, but will be pronounced as you would expect. There are way more rules about the German "S" though. We could also go into detail about the "s" versus "ss" versus "ß", but I think that would be too much right now :D The general rule for the German "V" is that it's pronounced like an "F" in truly German words or words of general Germanic origin ("Vogel", "viel", "Vater"), whereas it's pronounced like a "V" almost exlusively in foreign loan words, mostly from Latin or other Romance languages ("Vase", "Pulver", "Vanille"). The "R" in non-rhotic languages like Standard German is pronounced like an "R" only if it follows a consonant or is at the beginning of a word (e.g. in "Rot" or "Chrom"). If it follows a vowel, it's pronounced like a very short "a" (e.g. in "super" or "Hart", which are basically pronounced "zupa" and "haat"). This is weirdly similar to Australian English. So a good way for Americans trying to speak German is to simply imitate an Australian and it will automatically sound so much more German :D

    try to make more little breaks between the words, to be fair, better then learning pronouncing words would be to pronounce sounds, like EI SCH S and stuff like that. Basicly all germans having the same problem when we first learn to speak "TH" like "the" we have the sound for TH not in german so we break our fucking tounges learning it in school xD and then we need to learn that o in english is pronounced u and i is e and e is a and .... god i hated learning english as a child xD
