Please tell me how to pronounce Etsch? Thank you.

@fatmanwalkin69

in English you would say: Atch. This would sound quite similar.

just a question: did you enable advertisements on your channel? or is Youtube just raping us all?

[magauchsein]

@langsteubuisnaamooit

I have a deal with Google, it is known as "AdSense". I get 60 % of what the advertisement earns. It's not a lot but as I got over 600 videos on my channel and some of them are quite popular I do earn decent money. It always depends on the number of clicks but at the time I earn about 300 € a month.

[bernis57]

danke shun for your video. i found it very interesting, but the sound is with low quality. i hope that you work on it coz you ve a great videos!

thanks for doing this and im learning german from your videos!

[MrDucko258]

You know, I´m from north germany and there you don´t speak the "r" so good.

In every dialect the "r" sounds different. The more you get to the south, the "r" is more pronounct. Hope I could help you.

@mrpepperoriginal This r is a guttural r. You find two pronunciation videos in my channel easyonlinegerman.

[Sexygirl9666]

thank you) quiet easy ;)

hey just wanna know how r is pronounced in fertig is it pronounced as r in English or not pronounced my friend say try to swallow it but i have no clue how to do it and can you write a transliteration in English like is fehtich or fehitich or how??

@ geling101

geman language actually has no strict rules on the pronounciation of the 'r'. using the throat (french) or the tip of the tongue (rolling), both is correct. also it does not depend on the position in a word (the closer it stands to the end of a syllable people tend to swallow it but there is no rule), important is only to use it consistently or at least not to switch your 'method' with every word.
