Im getting better! ich übe mein Deutsch! What words or normal phrases should I try next??

[yasminaelric]

Now I want to hear you trying to pronunciate : "Tschechisches Streichholzschächtelchen."

If you pronunce it right, I'll personally get you immediately a german citizenship.

[tronixfix]

Ja so ein Eishörnchen is schon was feines 😋

[esztersmith]

You should learn the German „r“ first!

[raygoro]

I'm a German and I never had any problems pronouncing th or squirrel or grocery... 😮😮

[kevinklose]

For pronouncing sprechen:

1. say "huge" (the way that pronounces the h)
2. say re-huge ("re" being part of "sprechen")
3. say spre-huge (sh-p-re-huge, leave a pause between if you need to)
4. say spre-h-en (keeping the same h sound as in huge)

Start by leaving pauses between parts and gradually combine them into one word.

You're welcome

I'm from Florida and the german "ch" is so easy. Its the exact same sound as a cat hissing. Just imitate a cat hissing! Thats exactly how you do it. Please Connor, if this doesn't help, nothing will.

[givememynamepls]

Ich Sitz hier grad und versuche wie blöd squirrel und grocery richtig auszusprechen 😂😂

[kyihsin]

If you can say "huge" you can make the sound of "spreche". It's just in a different place in the word than where we're used to.

[jonershi]

you really should do some grammar basics and try to build some sentences on your own. Verry cool that you try to learn it.

"Spreche" was very good pronounced at 4:15!👍

[TiQdelf]

from the experience i made with forgein friends i can say:

- learn the german alphabet, most german words are pronounced just like they re spelled! and spell them to the end!!! lot of english speaking ppl dont speak the "e" at the end of words ... in german, ur right 95% of the time by speaking the "e"
- learn to pronounce the Umlaute "ä", "ü", "ö" and letter combinations like "ch", "sch", "ie"...
- dont try to learn everything at once! vocabulary + pronunciation or vocabulary + grammatics
- be careful with accents, breaks and commas in sentences! some mistakes can really fuck you up...
for example:
Mit Alkohol habe ich keine Probleme! (I dont have an alkoholproblem)
Mit Alkohol, habe ich keine Probleme! (As long as i have alkohol, i dont have problems)

and most important:
Just go for it! dont think too much! if you dont know a word, just describe it!
as long as you re trying, ppl will always help you!

Hey Conner, your German is getting better! Keep trying! If you need someone to practice, I live in Marburg and could practice with you :)

[SchmausiMausi]

6:08 The "übe" was damn good here, Conner. The more you point your lips (like you´re about to kiss somebody) the better you can pronounce the "ü".

[Atheist]

There are three kinds of _ch_ in the German language:
• the *voiceless palatal fricative* after bright vowels or in the diminutive suffix _-chen_ (as in: ich, sprechen, nicht, seicht, heucheln, Brötchen)
• the *voiceless velar fricative* in the midst of a word after a dark vowel (as in: lachen, lochen, buchen, fauchen)
• the *voiceless uvular fricative* at the end of a word after a dark vowel (as in: Bauch, Loch, Tuch, wach)

The first sound (palatal = referring to the hard palate) is articulated by pushing your tongue wide forward.
The last sound (uvular) is enunciated by pushing your tongue against your uvula.
For the the middle one (velar = referring to the soft palate) you have to put your tongue in between the two former sounds.

"Du bist ein Arschloch"

Me(German): Hah! geil.

[dreamworld]

An alle deutschen: wenn Conner das “r“ und “ch“, “sch“, etc...nicht ganz gut kann, stellt auch mal vor wie schwer dann schweizerdeutsch wäre, ohaa😵😵😂 das ginge dann überhaupt nicht, hehe

Conner, try to say a swissgerman word: chuchichäschtli 😋🙌 love Hannah❤

[UponThePen]

I’m learning German and came across this video while googling how to pronounce spreche specifically so I could work on this exact sound. When the video first started, I thought, “hell yeah, this shit’s going to be so helpful.” But, now that I’ve finished, I might be just a little more confused now than I was when I started. It was worth the laugh.

[tschaimeeee]

I probably laughed more than I should have, BUT you're getting better day by day! A lot of the pronunciation advice in the comments (as looking for words with similar sounds) is actually really good. Also, figuring out what happens in your mouth when you speak is the way to go 👌 it really takes a lot of practice (says the aspiring English teacher who will have to deal with horrible 'th' and messed up 'v' and 'w' one day. I could write novels about devoicing and what not 😅). Keep it up! You're getting there (:

[Rollli]

English: I speak (sounds nice)
French: Je parle (sounds eroticly)
German: ICH (sounds :-O)
