Some people produce an "isch" sound when they're trying to say "ich" in standard German. I made this video to help people refine their German accent.
In this video, I explain some important grammar terms you'll need to know before you start learning a second language like German. It will be helpful to understand these terms before you even go into class on day one.
This is a video for German students who want to practice making sentences with "to be" in German: "sein." It's not only great grammar practice but also good for beginner vocabulary!
Check out this video to practice regular German verbs with 30 A1 example sentences with beginner-level vocabulary.
This is a quick intro to the IPA vowel chart specifically for students of German as a second language. In this video, I explain how to interpret the vowels on the vowel chart and what the labels on the chart mean.
The third video in a short series where we have been practicing the numbers with arithmetic in German. It's a great way to engage with the numbers as lexical units instead of memorizing them as a list.
In this video, I analyze the /y:/ phoneme in Standard German. I go over some details about the articulation of this vowel that will help you learn to pronounce it more like a native speaker in case it's been causing you trouble. Part of a series on the vowel phonemes of Standard German.
