German Alphabet

Learning the German alphabet is very important because its structure is used in every day
conversation. Without it, you will not be able to say words properly even if you know how to write
those words. The better you pronounce a letter in a word, the more understood you will be in speaking
the German language.
Below is a table showing the German alphabet and how it is pronounced in English, and finally
examples of how those letters would sound if you place them in a word.
