German Alphabet
Because of the structure of the German alphabet it is important as it is used in every day conversation. Even if you know how to write the words, it won’t matter unless you are able to say the words properly.
You will be understood better by pronuncing a letter in a word correctly when speaking it.
Below is a table showing the German alphabet and how it is pronounced in English, and finally examples of how those letters would sound if you place them in a word.
