As a native German speaker and linguist, please note that some vowels shown here are wrong. The [ɐ] sound is completely mispronounced as an [o] sound. The [œ] sound is not the same sound as the u in hurt [hɜ̝ːt]. And in this video, it gets pronounced correctly only when within a word. When it is spoken seperately the speaker mispronounces it as [ø:]. When the speaker trys to pronounce [ə] seperately, she actually pronounces an [e:] sound. The [​ɪ​] sound is also mispronounced as an [i:] sound when spoken seperately. Same goes for [ʏ⁠] and [y:] and for [​ɔ] and [o:] and for [ʊ] and [u:]. Problem is that, in German, to every vowel ( vowel phonem to be correct) there is a long and a short version and Germans are not used to pronouncing the short versions seperately and longer. That's why the speaker here is mispronouncing all short vowels for long ones when she is trying to pronounce it seperately. Keep in mind, that when you have a letter like Ü or O, you always use the long version when you want to adress the letter/ say its name/ say it seperately. And when you want to say just "R" in German, you want to say [ɛɐ] and not an actual consonant sound. Also good to know is that many Germans do not roll their [ʁ] (one version of how you can pronounce the R in German at the beginning of a syllable. (You can choose from [ʁ], [R] and [r] and you only have to learn one of them.) If you find these sound symbols irritating then you should look up the IPA on Wikipedia. There you have listening samples of how the actual sounds sound like. There is also a Wikipedia entry on the German language and its phonetics so you can find a summary of various pronunciation rules. But Germans will understand you even if your pronunciation of R or Ü is not that clear or "native". Oh and last but not least, please, pronounce English words like English. With loanwords from other foreign languages like French or Russian, it's a little more complicated as those words have already been fully germanized over the past centuries.

@@TheZakev "Anglizismen" are usually imported english expressions which just exist in english with a distinct mainly professionell meaning..like for instance "Laptop", "Computer" and "Shareware" as well or many other computer based terms...or some business terms as well....and those are usually pronounced in english as well...I never ever heard someone saying in german "Shareware" or what ever "Anglizismus" in german pronunciation, honestly. "Denglisch" is a totally mix of german and randomly chosen english terms very often added with a german prefix or ending form ("germanized" so to say) used in one sentence although those therefore used english terms are not necessary to use because an equivalent german expression is already existing or most of the part had been always existed...like for instance to use in a german sentence "to check" by using a german ending form like "-en" (= checken) instead of using the regular german term "nachschauen" or the alternative german term "prüfen"..just things like that are called "denglisch"....the funniest example for "denglish" I´ve ever heard was the verb "gescreenshotet" (= german prefix "ge"+ english term "screenshot" which is a noun and not even a verb by the way + german ending "et") which ment that someone made a screenshot of his computer screen. There is simply a huge fundamental difference between "Anglizismen" which are pure english terms (=mainly necessary for a proper interaction respectively conversation) and "Denglish" which are just randomly chosen germanized english terms (=totally unnecessary for a proper interaction respectively conversation and which is more a sort of a youth-slang). And last but not least as an Austrian I can assure you - that all - has nothing to do with differences between Germany´s German and Austrian German at all simply because all those language differences between those 2 german speaking countries are just only and exclusively within the german language. Those have solely to do with many different german dialects + many different german accents even within Germany and also even within Austria as well. That´s more a bit like comparing British English with Scottish English or also with US-English where you also can find different dialects and different accents even within those 2 countries as well same as like as in German..or comparing British English or US-English with other english speaking countries like Australia, New Zealand etc

Is this supposed to be based on the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)? Because if so, several vowels are presented with incorrect phonetic symbols.

If you are in Bavaria don't even try to communicate in German because you won't understand a single word of the Bavarian accent. I am from Bavaria and we once bought a car from a native speaking German person and they were like "wtf are you talking about" because of our accent 😂

Isn’t direct object Accusatif, not Datif?

Great lesson!

At 4:14 the cases are described incorrectly. It says dativ (direct) and akkusativ (indirect). It should say dativ (indirect) and akkusativ (direct).

I am german and I haven't heard anyone says "BaGeL" pronounced like they did in the video... we say bagel with an English accent (more like "bäigl"). Or at least I and the people around me do...

9:14 These three words sound completely different. I am glad that we had Devnagari. Every sound is written and pronounced very accurately. European languages are stuck in these roman letters. Use same letters to depict different sounds and at the same time use different letters to depict the same sound.

I also confirm that this video has many mistakes. The native speaking girl makes no difference for short and long vowels when she actually should demonstrate the isolated sounds. She says Hölle the right way with a short ö but demonstrates the sound itself with a long ö. Same mistake in every other vowel. She always makes the long vowel sound when she should do the short vowel sound which always is less stressed. Also she says ü for the y sound. That's wrong. It actually is a very short and less stressed sound between ü and i.

Literally never heard someone say Bagel like that Shareware, maybe 80 year olds who don't speak English

I think i can pronounce the most of them. All the r's are mine, ö ä ü are easy only for me. And yes, she didn't say that "ts" is possible in english "beats/beasts/kids/pizza", and l is defferent.

Some minor errors and inaccuracies but in my opinion this'll help you pronounce German better.

Very interesting - but please be careful comparing to English sounds, when what you mean is American English sounds. They aren't always the same, eg the presenter says 'the sound in ought', but she pronounces 'ought' the way an English English-speaker would say 'art'.
