the most important thing that you should know is that the "w" is just like the "v" in english.. so "wie geht es dir" sounds like VEE-GAYT-ES-DEAR. dear as in the begining of a letter.
Pronunciation for the #s Einz z-vei drei fier funf zecs seeben ocht noin ten I'm not sure that I translated the pronunciations into writing okay, but hope this helps!
Wow... I thought I had pronunciation problems xD don't worry though, you'll get better, and since this video was made over 2 years ago, I'll take an educated guess that you're a lot better now :) I have trouble rolling my r's too, but only with some words.
"Bruder" is one that always gets me, but NOTHING gets me like "Reparieren". Practice always makes perfect though.
Just say "Wie geht es dir?" like "Vee get es deer?". Two of the other ones are (more or less) "Meer get es goot" and "Ouf veedersehen.". I hope that helps, although I am sure your German has developed since you posted the video.
Hi ! one important thing you may know the best way to learn a language and improve it is .speak with your self no problem if you got a languag book .perhaps Maybe i know 70 languges or 27 yet .bla bla .i am to talkative .Although i can speak German ..listen it very easy to say that .i know French. Arabic . Vietnamese.anyhow . i wonder if you can add me . agra2987@yahoo.com .i'll add u on utube .lolz, listen good try .
I'm a little late commenting, sorry. haha. Well, if you have an more questions I'm available. I speak 5 languages fluently. My first language is English.
(Eye as in Eyeball. lol) Eye-nz. Tsf-eye. Dr-eye. F-eer. F(ue)nf. Zeks. Zee-ben. Ah-cht. Noyn. Ts-ehn. This is coming from someone whose first language isn't German. I'm using English interjections. A lot of Germans don't understand this method. Like for the word "Um" in German, to teach it, I would spell it as "Owm" in our language as an Eng.Interjection even though the W is NOT pronounced; it's only to help an Americans. And for "Bring" in German, "BrEE-nk" in English etc. Hope I helped you!
yeah why not naked? try to speak: fischers fritze fischt frische fische. frische fische fischt fischers fritze. ;) oder: der dachdecker deckt dein dach, drum dank dem dachdecker, der dein dach deckt....
auf Wiedersehen sounds like Auf Veeder-saine. "W" sounds like "V" most times in Deutsche.
I.E. Wonderful = Wundervoll, which sounds like Vundervoll. Or you can say Wunderbar, but the first I used is a more literal translation.
Its hard at first for us English speakers, because our phonetics have changed slightly over the past 1500 years since English broke away from our Frisian forefathers which came from The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. This is why much of English is so close to German.
You speek it, like you're afraid of it. You seem to know it, just push ahead. Your teacher should have had you learn to sing the german alfabet like I did.
Okay, hope that helps. If you pronounce only the parts in brakets, and combine them as marked, you will get pretty close to the natural sounding. Don't pronounce the parts outside the brakets.
Wie Geht es Der is pronounced like this: Vee get es der. The W is pronounced like a V.
Nacht, as in Guten nacht, is pronounced Naacht. Make sure you make the a sound, you were making an O sound, but good attempt. =)
Auf Wiedersehen is a little harder for English speakers sometimes. It's said this way:
Auf (Sounds like off) Wiedersehen= Vee-der-zane- The sehen could be said the way it sounds, like vee-der-zay-in, but you will always hear it pronounced vee-der-zane.
Great attempt! full points for giving it a go, instead of giving it away. The only way to learn is to listen carefully to each word and repeat it til you are comfortable with it. There is an online course that will email you 6 free lessons, look up rocketlanguages. And practice all the time until your friends put a sock in your mouth. I find it helpful to put on a German accent while saying the words, even if it seems strange.
Last word of advice, make sure you are saying the word the right way before you go repeating it again and again. It is so hard to "unlearn" soemthing you have learnt incorrectly.
Once again great video Michelle, I might try to do one too, in the near future.
Wow.. German really isn't as hard as you make it out to be.. The alphabet is basically the exact same as the English alphabet with the acception of ö,ä,ü and ß.
Remember that ALL w's in German are pronounced like v's. And when you have an umlouted noun (with the dots above it) you have to kinda flatten your mouth at bit. It's hard to explain, but yes.
Wie geht es dir is pronounced Vee gate ess deer. To respond, you would say "es geht mir gut", pronounced ess gate meer goot.
bis spa"ter is pronounced just "biss spaater"
Remember the w's as v's thing!!
I have been taking german for two years, so if you have any more questions, i'd be glad to help!
There is a slight trill of the r found in German. Moreso in German than English for sure, but not a hard roll. The difference is found regionaly. My grandparents are Danube Swabians (Donauschwaben) and we roll our r's slightly, such is in "das Radio".
Also, unrequited2, Wie geht's dir should be pronounced: Vee gates deer. Many just say Wie geht's (depending on formality). Bis später is: bis shpater (long a) or shpeter (as in bet). It's a combination of the long a and short e for später.
ok i can help you with all of this, but im not shure i can do it on this comment, anyway, the hello and morgen and stuff. Ok guten tag is a og sound like frog not tag. Guten nocht all you need ot do is a flem sound deep in the throat. And last one ill od on the comment is Aufweidersehen, say it like this ow fieder sehn. If you get Xfire i can teach you it easier pm me on youtube for more help xD its hard to explain via comment.
vee gayt es deer, gootin tog, bis spayter, and svai. just remember: w = v, v = f, s = z, and j = y. g's at the end of a end of a sentence = ch, d = t, and b = p. nice first try!
If I could I would come through my computer and into your computer and be your personal german tutor! then you could speak german perfectly! but too bad that don't work...
you've been doing quite nice. as already mentioned, there's a big difference between the english and german pronounciation of "v" and "w", but i'm sure you're gonna make it! not sure if you still keep track of the comments on your video, but i'm happy to see foreigners making such efforts in learning our language! good luck.
well im german so let me say this W or said like V like Walker would be Valker guten Tag is right and your doing good and rolling Rs is hard but keep at it well :)
@sbiwien3 no. i am german. and you DONT say Vas, if you mean what. you say it, as you speak it. really. and you say nAcht. aufwiiieeederseHen. but, to unrequited2 you are quiet good.
you do quite a good job on our language which is in general quite hard to learn for foreigners :)
You too seem to have problems with our pronounciation of "ch" which isn't pronounced as "k" its a bit more like a slight sigh. Sounds dumb but that it is yet the only way I know how to describe it for an english-speaking person :P
If you wish I could try to explain you how to better pronounce german words or first the ABC. :)
Wie geht es dir (VEE gayt S duur) i hope that helps the es is like the letter S.
Guten Tag (GOO-ten tahk)
Auf Wiedersehen (owf VEE-der-say-en)
Hallo (hah-LOH)
Guten Abend (GOO-ten AH-bend)
Gute Nacht (GOO-tuh nakht)
Guten Morgen (GOO-ten MOR-gen)
The main problems i saw, was that you said "w" like a english w. And you were a little off with pronounciation. But that's okay. I'll message you with some great sites that helped me out. You don't need to be able to roll rr's. Keep it up Essie
wie geht es dir... i can't explain how to say it xD you know the french yes "oui"? the first word (wie) sounds a little bit like that. geht... like get with a lot e's.. geeeeet...^^ es... i think^that was well^^ dir... like dear^^ hope that helps a little
*lol* thats cute. I can understand everything but "Wie geht es dir". You should learn to pronounce a long "I"... For example you say (english pronounced) "dire" instead of "deer", when you want to say "dir".
Apart from that, your "ch" is wrong, but this is typical *lol*
But thank you for the vid. It's funny for a german.
Not that bad at all. I think it would be better if you would not force yourself to pronounce it in a certain way. "Nacht" for example. Simply say "Nackt" (that naked one), its okay if a native english speaking person says is that way. For "vier", simply say "fear".
Ok, Guten tag sounds good. Btw, Danke - is pronounced don-ka. Number 6 is not sex... It's pronounced zeks. (sech) You'll get better trust me;) It's quite some hard. but just believe thats all I can say. I'm 13 I speak russian, english, french, german. Took lessons, practiced hours a day.
oh and "guten tag" is said like guhten tawg dont give up though! youre really doing good! german is an amazing language! :) it seems difficult at first, but once you get the hang of pronunciations its super easy, i promise. :) oh and "Tchuss" is informal. the numbers: eins- you said that good! zwei- zvi (long i) drei- dry vier- fear funf- good job! sechs- zeks (kinda sounds like sex haha) sieben- zeeben acht- good! neun- noin (like like the noi in noise) zehn- zayhn
guten morgen was perfekt! sehr gut gemacht. :) (good job)
ok but a few tips: "w" is pronounced like "v". so, wie gehts? (how are you) is pronounced like this: vee gaytz.
and s is more like a z...
ok in the beginning you said, "wir geht es gut." but you have to congegate the verb. wir means we. and when the noun is plural the verb ends in "en". so the response to "wie gehts?" should be "es geht mir gut."
i have more to say, but im running out of remaining characters, so i have to post another
When americans or canadiens say the word "Bratwurst" i always start loughing it sound so funny when you know how it would be pronounced right.I whish i could talk like you with this cool american/canadien slang but we learn to speak with the gay english slang in school.
My Englishteacher told us sometimes that English speaking people cant say much voices we use very often.
He sayed for example the "Sch"-"St" Ö an Ü and they say a German K when they should say the Ch.
Now i can see it in your Video!
But i think its not so bad for your first Attempt speaking an other language.
If you want learn also German Grammar and Spelling i must tell you that our Language is much more Complex in this 2 things that the easy language english ;)
But you have big advantage over East Asians or Africans because the roots of English is indeed in the Old geerman as brought from the sachsen immigrants to Britain.
It is only with time strongly with the French mixed.
the most important thing that you should know is that the "w" is just like the "v" in english.. so "wie geht es dir" sounds like VEE-GAYT-ES-DEAR. dear as in the begining of a letter.

Sorry. I am mean. I can not speack English better than you can speak German, I suppose. ^^
It is "Wie geht es dir" with a long e because there is a h which streches the letter.
And you have to say "Bis später" differently.
But I think this has to be very difficult for you because there is no "ä" in English.

okay, if there is a "eu" in a German word, like in "neun", it has to be pronounced like "noin".
Well, after all those helping comments, I want another video with your new pronunciation. Would be great to see if it actually helped you! :)

aaaa!!!, now i know what you are trying to say **wie geht's

LHIED 3 years ago
that was pretty well... especially without much training...
if you want to pronounce "wie geht es dir?" try "we get es deer" ;)
as for those who think it's bad... remember when you tried to speak English for the first time... :P

Hello requited2,
you do quite a good job on our language which is in general quite hard to learn for foreigners :)
You too seem to have problems with our pronounciation of "ch" which isn't pronounced as "k" its a bit more like a slight sigh. Sounds dumb but that it is yet the only way I know how to describe it for an english-speaking person :P
If you wish I could try to explain you how to better pronounce german words or first the ABC. :)

Wie geht es dir (VEE gayt S duur) i hope that helps the es is like the letter S.
Guten Tag (GOO-ten tahk)
Auf Wiedersehen (owf VEE-der-say-en)
Hallo (hah-LOH)
Guten Abend (GOO-ten AH-bend)
Gute Nacht (GOO-tuh nakht)
Guten Morgen (GOO-ten MOR-gen)
The main problems i saw, was that you said "w" like a english w. And you were a little off with pronounciation. But that's okay. I'll message you with some great sites that helped me out. You don't need to be able to roll rr's. Keep it up Essie

hey...i like your video and your German is really cute =) If you practice the "ch" a bit, everyone here will understand you !
Crazybutnice91 3 years ago
*lol* thats cute. I can understand everything but "Wie geht es dir". You should learn to pronounce a long "I"... For example you say (english pronounced) "dire" instead of "deer", when you want to say "dir".
Apart from that, your "ch" is wrong, but this is typical *lol*
But thank you for the vid. It's funny for a german.
(sorry for my english, it's not the best, too ^^)

Not that bad at all. I think it would be better if you would not force yourself to pronounce it in a certain way. "Nacht" for example. Simply say "Nackt" (that naked one), its okay if a native english speaking person says is that way. For "vier", simply say "fear".

like i was saying..
im going to show you how to congegate verbs using gehen, which means go.
ich(i)- geh(e)
du(you)- geh(st)
er/sie/es(he/she/it)- geh(t)
wir(we)- geh(en)
Sie/sie( formal you/ plural you)- geh(en)
and when you are commanding someone you leave of all endings. so if i were to tell you in english, "go!" auf deutsch that would be "geh!"
therfor the response to how are you shouldnt be gehen, but geht, because you say "es geht" meaning "it goes".
emiliejolie242 3 years ago
guten morgen was perfekt! sehr gut gemacht. :) (good job)
ok but a few tips: "w" is pronounced like "v". so, wie gehts? (how are you) is pronounced like this: vee gaytz.
and s is more like a z...
ok in the beginning you said, "wir geht es gut." but you have to congegate the verb. wir means we. and when the noun is plural the verb ends in "en". so the response to "wie gehts?" should be "es geht mir gut."
i have more to say, but im running out of remaining characters, so i have to post another
emiliejolie242 3 years ago
lol thats so cool^^...i would help you but i have not ideo how to explain that^^lol.....but guten tag and guten morgen was right^^

German is an easy language if you hear it from a person who speaks fluently like
Auf Wiedersen=(or sounds like) Auf Veedezane or Veedezen which means goodbye

That is my favourite word to say because I can say it right, though I don't think I did in this video.

My Englishteacher told us sometimes that English speaking people cant say much voices we use very often.
He sayed for example the "Sch"-"St" Ö an Ü and they say a German K when they should say the Ch.
Now i can see it in your Video!
But i think its not so bad for your first Attempt speaking an other language.
If you want learn also German Grammar and Spelling i must tell you that our Language is much more Complex in this 2 things that the easy language english ;)
02nlaa66 3 years ago
German is definitely very complex!!!!
unrequited2 3 years ago
But you have big advantage over East Asians or Africans because the roots of English is indeed in the Old geerman as brought from the sachsen immigrants to Britain.
It is only with time strongly with the French mixed.

I noticed that I can make the right sounds for... ummm "nacht"
unrequited2 3 years ago
good because in your video its sound not like the german word for night its sounds like u would say nude.
U wont say "Nacht" u sound like "Nackt"
02nlaa66 3 years ago
