German sounds and how to pronounce them

Well, it can be quite difficult to learn German, especially when we try to pronounce those "umlaut"
letters. Maybe you’ve already tried some tricks to pronounce German correctly, but still find it hard. Mark, at Fluentu.com means that "the main reason behind our mispronunciations is that, when we speak, we’re not used to holding our mouths as tightly shut as Germans are. If you ever watch a German speaking, you’ll notice that they barely open their mouths while speaking. There is visible tension pulling their lips to the side."

Listen to the sounds and words, pause the video when needed, repeat after her.

I warmly recommend all the videos posted in Barbara´s Gfall YouTube Channel:

But don´t worry too much if your pronunciation is not perfect. The people will appreciate your efforts and mostly understand all of what you are saying. And that´s the most important thing in communication: to understand and be understood.
