In diesem Tutorial lernst du, wie du die deutschen Umlaute – Ä, Ö und Ü – deutlich und natürlich aussprichst. Wir nennen sie auch gerne „Unicorn Vowels“ ?.
Zusätzlich übst du weitere deutsche Vokale, die für viele Deutschlernende eine Herausforderung darstellen – besonders, wenn man aus dem Englischen kommt.
Auch wenn sie vertraut aussehen, verhalten sich deutsche Vokale oft ganz anders. Und selbst wenn man die Theorie kennt, ist die richtige Bewegung der Mundmuskulatur nicht immer einfach.
Dieses Video hilft dir dabei, genau diese Hürden zu überwinden – Schritt für Schritt.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to pronounce the German umlauts – Ä, Ö, and Ü – clearly and naturally. We like to call them “Unicorn Vowels” ?.
You’ll also work on other German vowels that can be tricky for learners, especially if your native language is English.
They may look familiar, but they often behave very differently. And even when you understand the theory, coordinating the right mouth movements can be a challenge.
This video will guide you through those challenges, step by step.
