I thought you went WAY WAY too fast. You went to the next topic while I was still thinking about the previous one. Also, not everyone does this in a formal classroom type situation at home. For instance, I like to do it while exercising, which during this time of Co-Vid I do for a couple of hours or more a day. All I hear is you firing stuff at me in English, without my ability to absorb it. We have had so many German tourists, many of them elderly, in Western Canada in the last few decades before 2020 it is almost the second language here in summer, they love the nature, and I work in the tourism industry.

My initial observation, being that language creates music, art and culture is that Waltz time informs of our the German values. If the measure has two quarter notes, (consonants) then, there is only room for one more, equal quarter note. If the measure has only one quarter note then there is time for a half note (long vowel). Being that Waltz time was created by Germans, this is a perfect analog. 3/4 Vc or vcc

That's a very nice video! The A sound in "an" is short, though. Also, the long E sound is different from the Ä sound, e.g. spät - ä is pronounced ɛː vs. Weg - long e is pronounced eː. Also, the short E sounds in "essen" are two different sounds: the first one is ɛ, which is exactly the same as the short Ä sound. The second one is the schwa ə, which is, however, not pronounced in this word. In actuality, you can hear only one E sound (that is the first one - ɛ) in this word.

@MrLAntrim 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the compliment and the additional information. I checked out a few of your videos and I think you are doing some really amazing work. I think you are pointing out pronunciation differences in regions, however. Most people pronounce spät as ɛ in western Germany and Switzerland, but as eː pretty much everywhere else. No matter where you are Weg has the eː sound. To me, this means that the more common pronunciation is that of eː in both words. As for Essen, you are completely correct. There are two different sounds in that word and I probably over simplified the pronunciation tips for this. spät - en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sp%C3%A4t /ʃpɛːt/ (used naturally in western Germany and Switzerland) /ʃpeːt/ (overall more common; particularly northern and eastern regions) Weg - en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Weg IPA(key): /veːk/ (standard) IPA(key): /veːç/ (northern and central Germany; now chiefly colloquial) Essen - en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Essen /ˈɛsən/

One of those words reminds me of the first full sentence my boyfriend said to me: "Leg dein Bein hier auf. Bitte." I was utterly confused. I thought 'leg' meant my leg; I had an Atypisch infektion in my ankle and he was helping me with aftercare. The only way I could understand him was to watch what he pointed at. I was really sick too so I might not even have been able to understand English. But he's not fluent in English. He learned it in school but was never allowed to speak it at home. His sister told me their dad hates that the German school system decided English was going to be mandatory and he made a rule that you can't speak English in his house. His dad is 73 and was personally affected by WWII. I mean, something happened to his mother & twin sister. My daughter's godfather is a Vietnam Veteran. He said wars are no matter to be taken lightly because the results affect people for decades. I had no idea what he meant until I met Gustav.

Hi, the y in typisch doesnt sound like Ü though, it just sounds like short vowel i. And what about the difference between long an short ü, e.g müssen vs Süß?

@MrLAntrim 5 жыл бұрын

1. Typisch ist Most definitely pronounced like the ü, as is demonstrated in pronunciation guide in the Duden article about it. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/typisch 2. You are correct that I left out the bit about long and short umlauts. They are pronounced the same, but with a longer (or shorter) sound and follow the same rules as the other longs vs short sound rules. I just didn't think the difference was big enough to add it to the video. There are some great articles in more detail on this website about them if you want that. joycep.myweb.port.ac.uk/pronounce/vowelae.html

Very nice series. Maybe even I can learn something new here, lol (native speaker, but ask me anything about grammar and I will just be like "Um... because it just is that way...?"). Just one thing I noticed and maybe it's a regional thing, but when I say "an", I use a short "a". It sounds more like "ann".

@MrLAntrim 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words. I think "an" might be a regional thing, but it also isn't likely to get confused with something else if you say a short A instead of a long A in that word.

@fremejoker 5 жыл бұрын

@@MrLAntrim It's not a regional thing. The vowels in prepositions are usually short. So the 'a' in 'an' is short.

I would argue that ä = e has the same pronounciation. compare sähen and sehen. the pronounciation goes up at ä and down at e. That is a very small diference you don't really need to know, but there is one!

@MrLAntrim 5 жыл бұрын

You are correct that there is a subtle difference between ä and e, but you are also correct that this difference is small enough that German learners don't really need to worry about it.

@bernhardstork6929 5 жыл бұрын

@@MrLAntrim It's really a regional thing and a question of correctness: as a native speaker I sometimes have to force myself to pronounce a correct long "ä", most of the time 'sähen' sounds like 'sehen'.

A small correction: There is a distinction between short and long ö, as well as between short and long ü. (short ö = rounded short e, long ö = rounded long e, short ü = rounded short i, long ü = rounded long i) I would assume that you're leaving this out for the sake of simlicity, but you're actually mixing those up in your pronounciations. Grün, über, Typ and typisch should have a long ü (/yː/), not a short ü (/ʏ/). It sounds quite weird otherwise. I'm not shure, but I think you're making an analogous mistake with schön and Löwe. (Though those seem to have the proper length, just not the corresponding quality.)

No. You are hearing something that isn't there. I said "Mäuse" as on the slide. You can clearly tell the difference in the -er vs -e in Häuser and Räuber vs Mäuse. I understand how you might be confused about that, as I did drag out the pronunciation of the -e longer than usual, but this was done to draw attention to the pronunciation and does not have the indicative "R" sound at the end.
