German Language Game: Practice Umlauts
German Language Game: Practice umlauts.
Level: Beginner (A1)
Playing Time: 2 minutes
German has three umlauts: ä, ö, ü and the letter combination: äu.
The word "umlaut" means a shift in the quality of the vowel.
It is usually created by fronting and rounding the vowel.
("fronting" = creating in the front of the mouth; "rounding" = creating with rounded lips)
With a little extra practice ALOUD you can definitely improve your mastery of these umlauts.
In this quick listening and pronunciation game, you'll practice the difference between: a and ä; o and ö; u and ü; au and äu.
There are no direct equivalents for German umlauted vowels in English, and German has long and short vowels.
The following are only approximations of the vowels:
- ä - similar to "get"
- ö - similar to "burn"
- ü - similar to "pew."
- äu - similar to "Loyd"
