[yeungshin]

OMG, i can’t believe i made it!!! it's really helpful, danke!!

[nattynab]

I finally made the sound! :D

[easyonlinegerman]

@infernalphast9 There is a long ö sound which I talked about in this video. A word with this sound is Öl [ø:l]. There is also another ö sound which is short and more open, for example in the word öffnen [ˈœfnən]. There will also be a training online about this sound in a few days.

very helpful. thank you

[brody3977]

You are a very good teacher and a pretty one too! I have been having troubles with pronouncing ö for awhile but I have it now.

Thanks!

[OfShadowandSubstance]

Oh my God! I think I got it! Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful!

[flaxious]

Sorry, there is no ö in dutch, as you say.

[easyonlinegerman]

@flaxious What about keuken [ˈkø:kən]? You do not write the ö as the letter but the sound is the same.

[flaxious]

@easyonlinegerman Yes, the sound is the same :-)

Thanks!

[Kanashto]

Thank you!

[nakorbluerider]

As I said on the video for ü, I found this quite helpful, thank you. I was always trying to do ö with more of an i+o sound instead of e+o; the way you explained it works much better. Thanks again!

[Joker4232]

Wow.

Finally I can pronounce the Umlaut!

You are Really good, and you have charisma.

Very informative.

Tschüss!

[corp127]

I've just read this, thank u! And let me congratulate you for being so attentive for answering this so fast. I realise u've got a sweet british accent also, cause i've a spanish-speaking. Thanks a lot!

[corp127]

This video is really helpful! But i've got a doubt... I don't find easy to distinguish the ü sound from this one.. I don't know if u have a tip. Herzlich danke!

[easyonlinegerman]

@corp127 The main thing is that you know the difference between o and u because the ö is o with lifted tongue and the ü is u with lifted tongue. I recommend you to watch my video about the German u. Stop at 4:35. This is when I explain the difference between the close vowel u and the close-mid (or half-close) vowel o.

[easyonlinegerman]

@corp127 The German u is a very narrow sound. If you already succeed in saying u correctly, you just have to open your mouth a little more. However, your lips have to stay protruded. The o is not far away from the u sound. It is just a little more open.

[MissMuschel89]

Thank you for posting this video. It helped me to pronounce ö correctly.

[undeadanddead]
