German self-taught with phonetic pronunciation

---

The Simple Yowels are : a, e, i, o, u, they are always pronounced ah, ay, ee, oh, oo, and never change their sound.

Compound or Modified Yowels are indicated by two small points (") : —

a (ae) pronounced as a in fate ; phonetics used are a, ae, e, at. d (oe) ,, like u in such ; phonetic is oe.

u (ue) ,, like the French u ; phonetic is eu. It may be produced by holding the lips in a circular shape as for whistling and sounding eu as one sound.

The last two have no exact corresponding sound in the English language — let a native pronounce it, and the sound will easily be caught ; the same with the German ch, It is always soft, and resembles the Scotch and Irish ch.

The Diphthongs: —

an, phonetics ou, au, as in house, Maus (mouse) mouse.

ei, } -, ,. • . (me/in (mine), mine,

ai } phonetic * as in mine
