GERMAN UMLAUTS for Dummies - How To Pronounce Ä, Ö, Ü

Hallo! sorry for my bad german

Oh I use “Ö” for a mouth and two eyes🤣

Wait, so if I mispronounce German words, I'm gonna get PREGNANT? runs far away from Germany

Thänk yöü för this wönderfül videö! I häd fün prödücing Germän ümläüt söünds. I feel like I äm never göing tö mix them üp ägäin. Wäit...

As a native German i can verify this is how you pronounce it. Best pronunciation of ä, ö and ü I have seen so far on Youtube

I am German and did all this....

I always explain it this way: ä -> form your lips/tongue as if you are pronouncing the german a, but say the german e instead ö -> form your lips/tongue as if you are pronouncing the german o, but say the german e instead ü -> form your lips/tongue as if you are pronouncing the german u, but say the german i instead It might not be 100% accurate but it's very close.

A video on the American accent in German...wait, wait I know that video :D ;) Yaayyy can't wait to see it! And yeah, I've gotten a few requests to make a video about the German letters with the umlaut and I'm like, uuuuuh guys, I have to figure out how to SAY those letters first xD GREAT VIDEO!!! I practiced doing each one like a good student :D

Ä=same as German E Ö=German E with rounded lips Ü=German I with rounded lips That is all you need to know.

I laughed so hard at your pronounciations, my face was tränenüberströmt.

OMG Trixie you're the best!!!!!! And they say Germans don't have a sense of humor. Ha! Funniest. DTTR Video. Ever.

Öööööö :D

OMG I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS THIS ONE HAD ME CRACKING UP 😂😂 they're all so hilarious while you're able to learn something new! Thanks!

I love your videos. You are an excellent teacher and definitely better than any boring antiquated linguistics coach. ❤

I have watched this video of yours 3 times! I love your humour, it was also super helpful. Thank you

You are amazing : ) I loved just staring at you being your funny self : ) Mannn, i had no idea German was so complicated and yet there exists such a tutor like yourself who explains it so simply; i feel like i should take it up all of a sudden. I do have several really close German friends but never needed to learn the language. I'm pretty much here cuz i was looking up the right way to pronounce Ben Bohmer (the EDM Trance guy) and the 'o' in his name has the two dots on top of it - just watched one of his sets and decided his stuff suited my ears : ) All the best, sweet miss! My compliments : )

*hihihi ich hatte auf jeden Fall viel Spaß beim Video! Als ausgebildete DaF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache)-Dozentin habe ich aber noch einen etwas einfacheren Tipp für dich, sollte dich noch einmal jemand bei Ö und Ü um Hilfe bitten: Ö -> sprich ein e, halte es und runde dann deine Lippen. Ü -> sprich ein i, halte es und runde dabei deine Lippen. Tada :D E und I sind Laute, die in fast allen Sprachen gehen und bei denen die Zungenstellung genau die richtige ist. Einzig die Lippenrundung macht den Unterschied ;) Für das Ä fällt mir gerade die Hilfestellung nicht ein - eventuell wurde es tatsächlich immer mit der Krücke über das E und dann den Mund weiter zu öffnen erklärt, also ähnlich wie du es schon getan hast. Deine Tipps waren aber definitiv amüsanter und unterhaltsamer als meine ;) Mach weiter so ^^

VERY useful and I AM a linguist! You're also very charming and that always makes practicing German more pleasant. Thank ya!

So far you are the best teacher I've ever known to teach the German language and your english pronunciation is awesome very clear. I hope you do videos for the other consonants especially the ''r'' sound. Keep it up.

Haha! This video is SUPER! You teach and explain better than most linguists and teachers that I have experienced. You are more relatable and funny. Thank you for the video!
