''ch'' in german sounds like ''r'' and ''rr'' in Brazilian Portuguese, and the ''sch'' sounds like our ''x'' and ''ch'', this video made me confirm that, thank you so much!! such a feeling of relief lol

[favouredwoman]

Just a perfect teacher for language! You need an award! Infact international award!!

[kelvinkeel]

I am a portuguese speaker and the CH is quite hard. Our throat isn't well used to make sounds like this.. haha. But I am keep trying until i ve got a sore throat :). Anyway, thanks for teaching. Very good video. Obrigado / danke.

If you are a native German speaker, I'm VERY impressed by your English. You sound more American than a lot of Americans do lol

This lesson is one of the most important lessons in A1. The lesson is well-organized as well by having the summary at the end of the lesson. Well done!

After learning French, the throat CH sound became easier to me. thanx

I saw some videos. None of them explained the position of the tongue.
I saw this video. You told us the position of the tongue. That's all I needed. Now I'm feeling like a master

Thank you
Have a wonderful day

I started learning German one week ago, and I couldn't pronounce the "ch" sound. This is the first video I found that was really helpful. I tested what I learned pronouncing many words on voice recognition applications several times, and never failed. It seems that I learned. Danke!

Ich komme aus Tibet und ich lerne deutsch seit einem Jahr. Heute habe ich deinen Videos gefunden. Das ist sehr schön und sehr gut . Ich lerne und schaue anfangen...

Although this is 4 years old this helped me a lot. Words like sprechen und spricht, oder bisschen were challenging for my tongue. I wish I had a tutor as good as as you. Danke schöne!

[shootacoustic]

So far your lessons are the best I can find in the Internet to practice Deutsch by myself. Vielen Dank!

Spot on examples! the "huge" sound made a HUGE and immediate click on my head. This is by far the best explanation I've seen about these sounds.

This is by far the most difficult sound (or combination of sounds) in the German language, I keep getting back to this video from time to time to get it right.

[saquibmohammad]

Damn. I was just looking for a way to learn to make 'ch' sound and now I found a way to learn Deutsch in fact. Thank you. This was incredibly helpful
