rules read in the German language is quite specific, but not as difficult as it might seem.In fact, one has only to remember the pronunciation of some letter combinations and then just put them into practice.
Vowels
first step is to learn the alphabet of the German language.With the pronunciation will not be a problem if initially trained on the letters.
Perhaps we should start with vowels.In this language, the letter relating to this type are divided into two types - in the short and long.It is interesting that the longitude depends on the interpretation of the word.For example, words offen - ofen.In the first case pronounce short "on" in the second extended.And the translation is different, 1 - "open", 2 - "oven".As you can see, this is important.
Note two vowels, which in our language there.It ö and ü, the point over which called umlauts.Everything here is simple - in the first case the pronunciation turns a cross between "o" and "e", and the second - between the "y" and "w", respectively.To get the right to say these sounds, take a little round the lips and make sounds not as usual, but if deeper, closer to the palate.It is important to learn how to correctly pronounce the sounds.For example, if you do not say "du bist schön", a "du bist schon", it will not "you're beautiful (ND)" and "you have."
You just have to remember that the rules of reading in German on its principle similar to the Russian.Only we have this is true in the case of the arrangement accents and spaces between the words: "to work!" - "Hurt," "Castle" - a "lock".By the way, there is still the letter "ä".Here it is easier - it is read as "e".In general, it is necessary to teach the alphabet of the German language - the pronunciation then there will be less problems.
consonants
is worth noting that in the German language and has a consonant that is not in the others.ß - it is pronounced as "Eszett" solo performance, and in the words, like a slightly elongated "s".Sometimes it is replaced by the combination of letters "ss".For example, both "fußball", and "fussball" translates as "football", and in both cases are correct.But that's not all, with regard to consonants.Rules of reading in German state that letters like "p", "t" and "k" at the end of exhalation should be accompanied - or rather aspiration.It - voiceless consonants, and they are in every word will remain so.But voiced at the end of syllables or words completely stunned.
End and diphthongs
There are still some features that distinguished German.Pronunciation of endings - that's what should be paid special attention.So, take, for example, the word "zwanzig".This figure - 20. The Germans pronounce the end of very soft.According to the idea, the letter "g" = "r."But when it is put at the end of the word, it is pronounced as "xi", but clearly, as if smoothing the end.However, it already comes with the language of experience, and often people do not realize how they are beginning to talk like that - just as the reduction, which in the Russian language a lot.Also, you should definitely mention the diphthongs.This combination of two vowels that are pronounced in a completely special way: ei (ah), au (au), eu (oops).That is: nein [Nine] - no, Frau [Frau] - Lady, neue [Neue] - the new, and so on. D.
pronunciation of consonant
some difficulty in learning German for non-Estonian peoplethere is no softness in the consonants.Unless the above example except for the end "g".Perhaps the most intractable sound can be considered a "c", which is denoted by the letter as "ch".Rules of reading in German offered to pronounce it as something in between such combinations as "NIL" and "xi".This letter designation can be found after vowels with umlauts and after i.Other combinations of consonants make some tough love, especially when it is such a topic as learning to read in German.And we are now talking about "tsch", "tzsch" - "h" and "Tm".The fact that in the German language have one letter that would be uttered as one of said combinations.For example, "z" is read as "n", "s" - as the "h" and "j" - generally as "d".The easiest way to remember a combination of pronunciation "tsch" by the word "Deutschland" - "Germany".It often catches the eye, and all the people, even if they do not study the German language in the hearing of all the familiar "Deutschland".
dialects and speaking practice
in Germany - 16 federal states.And I must say, the dialects spoken by the inhabitants of each of them differ from each other quite strongly.For example, the Bavarians can be difficult to understand the people from Bremen and Berliners have to strain to make out we are residents of Stuttgart.For example, in Berlin dialect consonants such as t and d are pronounced like the British English - alveolar.By the way, we should note one more nuance.German characteristic fuzzy, soft pronunciation of this letter.For a better understanding it is recommended to listen to the real German speech - listen to audio lessons, songs, interviews with the Germans.Only in this way we will understand how to pronounce the letter, and losing notions of unpleasant lisp.German, in fact, very nice, but what they say about him - this, in the overwhelming number of cases stereotypes.In general, to learn it - really.It is only necessary to regularly engage in German, to learn the rules, practice and most importantly - to read, to practice.
