Right now, we're going to do an exercise together where we're going to see different photos and we have to indicate what is the correct reading. For this situation. We have four options to choose.

How does it work? Alphabet exercise 1: How does it work? Right now, we have just seen the 30 letters of the German alphabet, including the four special ones, like the shelf is S, two ohm load, the load and the umlaut. Now, we're going to do an exercise together where we are going to take the worst if we have previously seen with the alphabet and review them in the form of a quiz. We have four options to answer. Option a, option B, option C, and option D. Feed. 8. How to pronounce Ä, Ö, and Ü: How do we pronounce the Cloud or on loud and allowed? This way? The umlaut is the combination between the sounds of an a and an E. It sounds very similar to the German eat back into Award, the Qazi we saw back in the upload section. However, there are two key differences. Number one, it sounds more elongated. And number two, it sounds a little bit different because there's this mixture between the a and the e sound. However, the e sound dominates strongly, like in dust. Mention spotter, dear friends, delicate say, does mention. Very subtle, isn't it? Let's do it again. The cat C does mage and good. And how do we perform the OEM loud? How does it work? Load is a combination of the O and an ease outs. And there are two ways of explaining yourself. Number one, technical way, you put your lips with the shape of an OH, like this. But in your mouth with your tongue, you say an E. So it works like put your mouth like a fish, like this. But while doing them, see an E with your tongue inside of your mouth. That's a technical way in which words do we hear that? Deep shield? Back in the alphabet section. And what is the easy way? Number two, easy way is to gesture that people make when they think that something is disgusting. This there you got it. And as a bonus tip, if you're familiar with the French language, you're going to get the sound easier because it's very likely that you already know it. So we tried to easy way. It sounds like the shoot. Yeah. We'll still got it. Let's repeat again. D shield. Good. That's how we get loud. Excellent, good. What about the oozed out that we're on loud as mode by mixing the sounds of an eye and a U. And how does it work? Have you ever heard the most popular German surname, which is nulla? Where else? Have we heard this? Back in the alphabet section. We also have the word dia, year to sound. You missed the I and the US sounds together. Once you repeat it again, Daddy. Daddy. You get it. That's how we form that. Uhm loud. 9. Alphabet exercise 1: Taxes owned, training, activated, it's five versus data's phone saying decaf up COM-B. Reagan Bogan. C. D. Thus telephone. Correct.
