GERMAN PRONUNCIATION 5: Pronunciation of the German UMLAUTE

[@MistaRichard0]

"You just listen to some sheep and repeat after them!" -- Words I never thought I'd hear while studying german... Great video as always! :)

[@NelsonGabrielGonzalezMarketing]

Hey Ania! I leave you some ascii codes for windows users : ß ALT + 225 ä ALT + 132 Ä ALT + 142 ö ALT + 148 Ö ALT + 153 ü ALT + 129 Ü ALT + 154 ñ ALT + 164

[@Redfoot9]

And in some editors you must have the num lock on. For those that don't understand what Nelson is explaining, if you hold the alt key and type the numbers listed, then release the alt key, the special character is displayed.

[@linajurgensen4698]

Nelson Gabriel Gonzalez es gibt jetzt aber auch tatsächlich ein großes "ß"!

[@sighisoaraa]

Or you can just change your layout to german.

[@Kittikunkanbba]

[@rgsuki999]

It is easier to use English International Keyboard layout, you can type: "+a=ä "+o=ö "+u=ü etc...

[@bravobravus]

After watch 10 tutorials similars, I found yours is best one here.. Danke for sharing, Ania!

[@katarinaprislan4726]

Alt Gr pressen und in der gleichen zeit das fragezeichen drücken, loslassen, und dann den gewünschten buchstabe drücken. Du bist eine tolle lehrerin! Bin dir dankbar

[@kandysurya9700]

For typing umlaut in Mac, there is another short cut. ü - Type 'Option' key and 'u' at the same time. It will show double dots only. Release both keys and press 'u' again ö - Type 'Option' key and 'u' at the same time, to get double dots. Release both keys and press 'o' again Ö - Type 'Option' key and 'u' at the same time, to get double dots. Release both keys and press 'o' again, with shift key pressed. ...

[@haggihug3162]

Hey, thank you thousand times! As a native speaker I never tought about this possibillity. It really will help a friend of mine who is learning german. 🥰

[@victormorais1150]

Träumen, Ökologie, Bücher. Hello Ania! I'm Brazilian and I had already started in the german language. Some sounds are very difficult for us but you are making it easier. I have searched on youtube for many german courses and yours was the best!! Congrats!!

[@shanebond1975]

Hi Ania , could you please do a video on difference between sounds of : a & ä , o & ö and u & ü , so that umlaut could be better understood. Thank You.

[@ashikpb8202]

Having same trouble

[@alancastter]

I´m brazilian and after having learnt a bit about english I got interested also in german; then I found your channel and got very happy because for me you´re great teacher and nice girl. Congratulation!

[@jibinmathews5936]

danke sehr. I still couldn't do umlaute properly after 2 years in Germany. very helpful thanks

[@mattinuk]

"you must listen to some sheep and repeat after them" :) haha.

[@rnronie38]

[@jacquettepollard1780]

Haha. She kept it real.

[@amaurimachadotay2514]

Ania Ihre Klassen sind wunderbar und man ist Sympathie. Danke

[@katfranziska4405]

Sehr hilfreich! Danke! Hausaufgaben: - Müde - die Hände - Böse

[@harishappymoments7970]

Thank you very much for the video. Umlaute to type in English keyboard as below ä : Alt + 0228 ö : Alt + 0246 ü : Alt + 0252 Ä : Alt + 0196 Ö : Alt + 0214 Ü : Alt + 0220

[@sherihawn387]

For the Ü sound, you make an O shape with your mouth but make an E (ee) sound. Works every time, especially for words like Bücher (books) with harder consonant sounds that follow it. It's like saying "you" with a rich Scottish accent but without the y, lol. Also, a good example of the long Ö sound is Österreich (Austria)

[@davidroseman4989]

on a windows PC: set English (International) keyboard CTRL+ALT+P = ö CTRL+ALT+Y = ü CTRL+ALT+Q = ä Add SHIFT to each keypress for caps, IMO easier than remembering ALT codes Vielen Dank Anja, Tschüss!

[@priteshugrankar6815]

Love the intro!! My niece repeats your intro and it cracks me up every single time 😀

[@Ahmed_Abass2]

Äpfel, schön, üben. Dankeschön Ania

[@johndinga7469]

You are a great teacher and you make learning such a lively and pleasant experience. Danke sehr!

[@joyhardy2467]

Thank you so much. This is very tricky, "aber ich übe gern" - hopefully, that's "but like to practise". Loved that I learnt a lot of new words as well. Thank you also for the keyboard tip for Macs. Have been using a Mac for about 20 years and never knew this!

[@3lish3fll]

I've learned very much from these videos, thanks for your efforts.

[@ranchocommodorereef]

To say ü, you can either say 'cute' but without the 'y' sound or you can say 'ee' as in feed, but with your lips rounded.

[@vidathgunathilake]

Okay this is really helpful, danke

[@ranchocommodorereef]

@@vidathgunathilake I don't know how to say 'you're welcome' in German.

[@vidathgunathilake]

@@ranchocommodorereef haha i think it's "Gern geschehen"

[@bozoalrifai]

It is Bitte or Bitte schön

[@AICodingAdventures]

Mädchen, Können und Zurück. Nett Video! Vielen Dank!!!

[@emyhakeem9816]

My third Lesson with you Ania , Danke

[@VitalyPolovin]

I always get a smile on my face when watching her videos lol

[@drjp4212]

Easy for French speakers, as Ä = ai/ais, Ö: e/eu and Ü = u. French is a very phonologically rich language.

[@nurathre4677]

Ich komme aus Österreich und ich finde es macht sehr viel Spaß sich diese Videos anzuschauen😂👍🏼

[@MagicLucy69]

You are amazing. I wish you could be my real life German teacher haha it is so difficult but you make it so understandable!

[@nicoleta.dvornicov]

Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe, Anja! Du bist so nett!

[@776799850]

really yu are better than all teachers deutsh, go ahead , well done Ania

[@mtgreengarden]

I love the sheep! Another animal I learned to imitate (compliments of Trixi) is a cat when it purrs to imitate the German "R" in your throat.

[@shadow201011]

Die Umlaute ist sehr sehr sehr schön

[@mrbr549]

Sehr gut! I can understand you better when you are less hyper. Danke!

[@wallacedauer9323]

+mrbr549 Ich mag Ania Begeisterung. Sie ist leicht zu verstehen.

[@mrsmr3219]

Hello , I'm from Albania and trying to learn German . For us is so easy because we have all this for example Ü we have the Y and is the same pronunciation , Ä is the same in Albanien Ë the Ö is like a ë and o together for us . We say very easy the R and H and the β . I used to complain about them but thanks god that we have them 😂 .. Ur a big healp for me thank you, God bless you 🙏

[@mrsmr3219]

[@ichbin5200]

You are very easy to listen to, to understand and also to learn pronunciation from. I like your accent too. 😁

[@abdallahyahya8578]

Deine Wörter tun mir gut ....Dankbar ❤️🌹🇸🇩

[@LordDukeDeBadass]

In Windows programs, you can push ctrl+shift+: then let go then press the vowel. In French it is called "accent trema." You can do somthing similar for accent ague ', accent grave `, and the tilde ~.

[@gallenfier]

For Windows and Linux, I recommend using keyboard input method. You can look this up on Google, but there are two I recommend. Use the English International and simply use alt gr+q for ä, alt gr+y for ü, and alt gr+p for ö. For German input method, ; changes to ö, ' to ä, and [ to ü. For capitals simply hold the shift key while doing either method.

[@gallenfier]

Note that Chromebooks uses a Linux OS so the above methods work for them as well. For tablets, for the most part just press down and hold on the letter to augment.

[@atharajazkhan]

For windows users Change the language to English international. Ä = shift + "+ A, Ö = shift + "+ O and Ü = shift + " +U

[@oumaymaelmaatouki4297]

Danke schön Dania

[@RohitShrivastavaatplus]

I use it all the time on Mac for "die umlaute" & "ß" little help @Anja. Its always and its even simpler Press [Long Press a + (and then numeral) 4 ] = ä, [ Long Press s & then press 1 = ß OR Option + s = ß] Similarly for [Long Press U + 2 = ü], Long Press o + 2 = ö. Now you dont have to think just press the umlaut letter on english keyboard long and then choose 2 for most & some cases 1 & 4 like ß & ä.

[@youngshafi1762]

vielen danke ania you are good teacher of main i have enjoy more and i like to see more new vedio soon tschuse

[@dukerock7]

Umlaut well explained, thank you.

[@ilariaz]

die Käse, der Löwe, die Brüder. I love your course!!! Thank you very much!!

[@Jan_van_Waaij]

On a mac it is faster to type alt and u at the same time and then a, o or u to get ä, ö or ü, respectively. On Windows 10 with United States - International Keyboard you type " and then a, o or u.

[@abelincolnparth]

The very biggest deal I need on learning about umlats is the difference in pronunciation between wurde, war, hatte and its umlat cousins, since those words are used all the time in sentences.

[@nicolasfauvel5934]

Schön! Sehr nützlich. BUT NOTE, as “Bus and Lorry Driver Saint Leonard” has said, the vowel in English “mad” and “end” are not the same (at 1.26). It is true that the short German “ä” is like the vowel in English “end” (IPA: /ɛ/), but the vowel in English "mad" (IPA: /æ/) does not exist in German. German speakers often hear the vowels as similar and use /ɛ/ for both when speaking English.

[@zamkizamki3825]

[@cardinalflower135]

aehnlich schoen gruen Danke, Ania!

[@jaimegarcia8447]

Nice video, but I'm not sure about he English equivalents. As far as I know, the vowel in 'mad' does not exist in German phonology, at least the RP. version It would be really useful if you could do a video comparing the German 'ä' and 'e' sounds. Also, the vowel in flirt is unrounded and central, whereas the German oe is rounded and frontal (and does not exist in English phonology) Nevertheless, you give clear explanations and the video is really useful so thank you for that :)

ß = alt 225; alt + 0223 ä = alt 132 (lowercase); alt +0228 Ä = alt 142 (uppercase); alt + 0196 ö = alt 148 (lowercase); alt + 0246 Ö = alt 153 (uppercase); alt + 0214 ü = alt 129; alt + 0252 Ü = alt 154; alt + 0220

Bär Schön BüroExtra tip: if on Microsoft Office, you can press [shift] + [Ctrl] +[;] together, then press the vowel you want to make an umlaute.

Well done

[@robertgravolin5157]

On a windows computer you press control + shift and semi collin and let it go and then press what ever umlaute vowel you need

[@giusyocchipinti598]

Danke für Ihre Erklärung! Süß Mädchen Können

[@annabellatitong9567]

danke schon ania

[@johnpeterson4213]

We can get the example from the taxi like "Uber" (my cellphone doesn't offer the um laute for u), or at least, I'd need help from someone on how to access it on the LG G4 phone! Lol! The ue is helpful beause I can relate to the sound that we hear in the word Tuesday! It has that oooo sound!

[@biniamaraya7540]

vielen Dank

[@rudymelo880]

On a mac you can type alt/option key + u and then press the vowel

Thanks really helpful!

[@vincentsvirtues4172]

For the Ü, just say the word “two” but never make it deeper and just stay on the “euuu” at the beginning
