Today we're gonna go through the alphabet and general pronunciation of the German Language.
Sounds like fun? It is!!

Besides the alphabet we will also take a look at how to pronounce
- Ä (like "ai" in English "fair"),
- Ö (kinda like "o" in English "word")
- Ü (say a looong English "eeee" and while doing that, form your mouth to say "you". It should be kind of in the middle of the sound of "ou" in "you" and the long "eeee")
- ß (basically a double "s", sounds in general a bit stronger than the normal s)
and combinations such as
- ie (English "ee")
- ei (English "i")
- eu (English "oy")
- äu (same as "eu": English "oy")
- au (like "ow" in English "wow")
- sch (English "sh")
- ch (two different pronounciations, watch the video and try again and again, I can't really describe that in words LOL)
NOT MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO:
"qu" is pronounced like "coo" in English "cool". The Q basically never really stands alone. Hope that helped :D

today we're talking about the first case in German grammar, the nominative (der Nominativ)

In order to know when to use the nominative for a noun in a sentence, you'll have to ask the following questions:
"What is that? (Was ist das?)" or
"Who is that? (Wer ist das?)"

If the noun in a sentence is the answer to one of those two questions, you'll know you have to use the nominative form of it.

Examples used here:
"Das ist ein Apfel. (This is an apple)" and
"Das ist Kiwi. (This is Kiwi)"
who? - wer?
what? - was?
der Apfel - the apple
ein Apfel - an apple

The next three Learn German videos will be about the three other cases of German grammar:
- Genitiv
- Dativ
- Akkusativ
