@andreskizzo The sch (sh) sound is produced by bunching the blade of the tongue up against the palate. So the sh sound is more at the front. The soft ch is the voiceless counterpart of the [j] sound, for example at the beginning of the word "yes". If you try to whisper yes without using your vocal chords, then you produce the ch sound. You do not use the blade of your tongue. The soft ch sound is formed with the middle part of the tongue raised against the hard palate.
Vielen lieben Dank für Ihr Video. Ich möchte Sie aber nach der Zungenhaltung fragen. Können Sie bitte detailliert beschreiben, was genau die Zunge macht? Ich habe es schon versucht, die Zunge gegen den Daumen zu halten - doch man hört das richtige "ch" nicht. Danke und Gruß
@spgrosso Die Zungenstellung ist dieselbe, wenn ich den stimmhaften Laut [j] ausspreche, z.B. am Anfang des Wortes yes. Man könnte auch sagen, das weiche ch ist eine stimmlose Variante des [j]. Am einfachsten ist es daher, das Wort yes zu flüstern, also versuchen, es auszusprechen, ohne die Stimme einzusetzen.
@easyonlinegerman eigentliCH niCHt ...XD aber trotzdem gutes vid , ich glaub ich zeig das mal meinen kumpels die ständig versuchen deutsch zu sprechen, ist zwar witzig wenn sie alles falsch aussprechen aber iwann will man nurnoch das die es dann doch ein wenig können :D
Thank you very much for the lesson! You know what would be great, if you round up with some examples of both the hard and the soft ch-sound so that you can compare. So what's your take on the ch-sound down the throat that you mentioned in the hard ch-sound lesson? Come to think of it, Pimsleuer teaches that throat-sound for the ch-sound in doch. Confusing!
@matteusmauritz The sound in doch is a hard ch. I am not planning to make futher videos about the ch sounds because I think I explained very well where they are formed and when you have to pronounce a soft or a hard ch sound. If you have problems with the soft ch sound, try to whisper "yes". If you have difficulties in pronouncing the hard ch, then imagine you want to produce the clicking sound k without completely closing the area between tongue and soft palate so that the air can still flow.
This is new to me. I know that people in Berlin often say ick instead of ich. However, they speak a k and not the [x] sound. Try to whisper "yes" or take a Spanish word like "llamar". Whisper the word but see that you can still hear the sound at the beginning. You can also say that the [ç] sound it is a voiceless [j] sound. These sounds are very close.
I speak spanish, and it wasn't hard to pronounce the ch[x] sound, but I had dificult with the ch[ç] sound. My teacher (Mexican) says that I should pronounce the strong sound always CH[x] 'cause in Berlin is pronounced like that...what sould I do?
Thank you so much! I am a native speaker of American English and getting the pronunciation of "ich" right is very hard for me. Your mentioning several ways to approach the correct pronunciation was particularly helpful!
Of all the videos about the German language shown on Youtube, these ones by "easyonlinegerman" are definitely the best!! ...and not only for beginners, but also for advanced-level students. Highly recommended!
ich lerne Deutsch. Das ist unglaublich und nützlich! Ich bin Amerikaner und das sagen ch auf Deutsch sehr schwierig. Sie erklären dies sehr gut. Danke sehr! I've been trying for months to]figure out whenand how to say hard ch or soft ch. Finally I know....
I cant tell the different between sch and soft ch :( I can pronounce sch easily but not ch :( I know its a bit different

@basti329 Keine Ahnung, vielleicht aus Neugier? Wenn du's nicht weißt :-). Ein ch-Aussprachetraining brauchst du ja wohl nicht.
