Great now I know like thousands of words but I don’t know how to pronounce them
How to pronounce the “Ö”: take the word way (orbetray,lay) and now just say the ay.Amazing now tightly round your lips. If you have problems with that use a mirror to see if your lips are actually rounded.
How to pronounce the Ü: take the word knee(orweed,bee) and just say the ee. You have to round your lips just like with the Ö. The result is the Ü sound.
How to pronounce the “Ä”: You already have that in English! Take the word airand remove ther.And that’s how the GermanÄsounds like!
1 = eins
2 = zwei
3 = drei
4 = vier
5 = fünf
6 = sechs
7 = sieben
8 = acht
9 = neun
10 = zehn
!!!Attention!!! The German word for “sex” sounds very similar to “sechs”

Only a few words because it’s better to learn them!
how to conjugate regular verbs (1)
Alright this might be confusing because in English you only conjugate the 3rd person singular (remember that “he she it - the s must fit” thing? That’s exactly what I mean)
But German does that with every verb. So let’s take the verb “(to) learn” - “lernen”.
!!Almost every regular verb ends with “-en”!!
ich lerne (-e)
du lernst (-st)
er/sie/es lernt (-t)
wir lernen (-en)
ihr lernt (-t)
sie lernen (-en)
Just remember the endings and everything will be fine!
new letter!!
ß omg what are you
Ok calm down, maybe it’s just a weird looking “B” but that’s ok not everyone is perfect. It’s not. It’s actually a way to say “s”.
Great but how do I pronounce it?
Just act like you’re a snake! Ssssssssss. See? it’s actually really easy.
nouns (1)
Ok, but why do I write nouns with a capital letter? That’s because you write nouns with a capital letter! Always. That’s it. Just remember this simple rule.
