|
|
Das
deutsche Alphabet besteht aus Vokalen und Konsonanten. Die Beide bestimmen die
Aussprache jedes Wort. Man muss Konsonanten und Vokale aussprechen können,
damit man das deutsche Wort lesen können. |
The
German alphabet consists of vowels and
consonants. Both determine the pronunciation of every word. You
must be able to pronounce consonants and vowels in order to read German words. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Im
Deutschen existieren 8 Grundvokale. Jeder Vokal wird Lang und Kurz
ausgesprochen. Die Vokal Aussprache ist ausschlaggebend für die Wortbedeutung
manche Wörter. |
There are 8 basic Vowels in German. Each Vowel can
be pronounced either Long or Short. Vowel Pronunciation is crucial for
the meaning of some words. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Einige
Konsonanten werden genauso ausgesprochen wie im Englischen oder
Französischen. Man muss lernen, wie Konsonantenverbindungen aussprechen. |
Some consonants are pronounced exactly as they
are in English or French.
You have to learn how
to pronounce consonant clusters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Das
deutsche Wort besteht aus ein oder mehrere Silben. Silben bestehen aus ein Vokal
oder ein Diphthong und ein oder mehrere Konsonanten. Vokal und Diphthong
bestimmen die Aussprache jede Silbe. |
A
German word consists of one or
more syllables. Syllables consist of a vowel or
a diphthong and one or more
consonants. The vowel and diphthong determine the pronunciation of each syllable. |
|
|
Beispiel:
üben, übe, übst, übt |
Example: practice, practice, practice, practices |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Um
die Aussprache der Wörter zu erleichtern ist jede Silbe des Worts mit eine
Farbe gefärbt. |
To make Pronouncing the Words easier, each Syllable is colored. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Die
Buchstabe "e" und "h" in einigen Wörtern dienen dazu,
die Vorvokale Lang auszusprechen. Sie werden nicht ausgesprochen. |
The
letter "e" and
"h" are in some words used
to pronounce the Vowel before
Long. They are not pronounced. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Für
deutsche Nomen wird der erste Buchstabe großgeschrieben. |
The
first Letter of German Nouns is Capital. |
