It may seem like there are tons of rules you need to remember and follow, and that it is difficult to implement all the rules in your speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Rest assured, learning how to speak with a good German accent will take time, but it will become much easier with practice! To make the process as easy and pleasant as possible for yourself, <strong>start practicing with simple words<\/strong> that are <strong>short<\/strong> and <strong>target one particular pronunciation rule<\/strong>.

As you practice, <strong>use a good dictionary with an audio feature<\/strong>, such as Collins German-English dictionary, to check the correct pronunciation of each word and repeat it.<\/p>\n<p>When you feel comfortable with your accent in basic words, you can move on to <strong>practicing with full sentences<\/strong>. In order to do so you must first <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-german-learn-to-read-in-german-steps-to-follow-and-top-tips-and-tricks\/\">learn to read in German<\/a>, and then practice reading as much as possible to improve both your pronunciation and accent at the same time.

If you say \u201cfather\u201d in English, you\u2019ll notice that the long \u201ca\u201d sound comes from relatively low in your throat. If you were to say \u201cfather\u201d with a German accent, it would sound a little more like a short \u201ce\u201d. To do this, you just have to <strong>constrict your throat a little<\/strong> and try to pronounce the vowel <strong>from the back of your mouth<\/strong>, rather than down in your throat. This is the same principle you should keep in mind when pronouncing vowels in German.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like a detailed look at each german vowel, check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-german-vowels-examples-and-exercises-to-help-your-pronunciation\/\">how to pronounce German vowels<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-61598-_417f1pf9qbxu\"><\/a>#3: Change Your Pronunciation of Consonants to \u201cThe German Way\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Learning the <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-german-pronunciation-what-are-the-basic-rules-you-need-to-know\/\">basic rules of German pronunciation<\/a> is the key to getting a good accent.

While English speakers say \u201cbee-em double-U\u201d, a German would say \u201cbeh em veh\u201d. Yes, in German, <strong>the \u201cw\u201d is pronounced like a \u201cv\u201d<\/strong>! <strong>This sound is very common<\/strong> in German, even in very basic words, so if you make this change in your pronunciation when you read or say German words, you will already be much closer to speaking with a German accent.

So that means that the name Sandra is actually pronounced \u201cZandra\u201d in German! And the word \u201calso\u201d (so\/thus) is read like \u201calzo\u201d. Keep in mind this rule <strong>doesn\u2019t apply for the letter \u201cs\u201d at the end of a word<\/strong>. So \u201cHaus\u201d is still read the same way as \u201chouse\u201d \u2014 but the plural \u201cH\u00e4user\u201d is pronounced \u201cHoyzer!\u201d. Likewise, words with a <strong>double \u201cs\u201d<\/strong>, like \u201cm\u00fcssen\u201d (must) will also be pronounced with a regular \u201cs\u201d sound.

Practice the \u201cs\u201d sound with these basic German words, and pay careful attention to if they have an \u201cs\u201d or a \u201cz\u201d sound!<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-2978\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-2978\">\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">sie - she \/ formal \u201cyou\u201d)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">sechs - six<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">sowohl (...als auch) - both (...and)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">es - it<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">sieben - seven<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">sagen - say<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">das - the (neuter)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">bis - until<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">sehen - see<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">dieser - this (masculine)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">aus - out of<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">also - so\/thus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">sollen - should<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">seit - since<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">besonder - particular<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">sein - be<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">was - what<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">sehr - very<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">m\u00fcssen - must<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">sondern - but rather<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">sich - oneself<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p>There are a few exceptions to this rule, but focus on these basics first.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61598-_ol6xhc9p85jz\"><\/a>Pronounce the letter \u201cz\u201d with a \u201cts\u201d sound<\/h3>\n<p>Except for foreign words like \u201czoo\u201d, the <strong>letter \u201cz\u201d in German<\/strong> is pronounced with the same consonant you have at the <strong>start of \u201ctsunami\u201d or \u201ctsar\u201d<\/strong>. That means that \u201cZentrum\u201d, meaning \u201ccenter\u201d, is actually pronounced \u201ctsentrum\u201d!

Try gargling some water and notice where it is in your throat: that\u2019s the spot where you should try to pronounce the \u201cr\u201d, right at the top of the esophagus.

Whereas a native speaker would barely pronounce the final \u201cg\u201d, \u201cd\u201d, and \u201cb\u201d in words like \u201cpig\u201d, \u201cdad\u201d, and \u201cstub\u201d, a German would say them much more clearly, but pronounce them more like \u201cpik\u201d, \u201cdat\u201d, and \u201cstup\u201d. So, we can see that in general, a German accent makes consonants at the ends of words both <strong>more audible<\/strong> and also <strong>change to a different vowel sound<\/strong>. This may feel a bit counterintuitive, so don\u2019t worry about getting this perfect right away, but start paying attention to consonants at the end of words when you listen to native speakers or check words in the dictionary.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-2981\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-2981\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">\u201cg\u201d ending, \u201ck\u201d sound<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">\u201cb\u201d ending, \u201cp\u201d sound<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">\u201cd\u201d ending, \u201ct\u201d sound<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tag - day<br \/>\nSchlag - punch<br \/>\nZug - train<br \/>\nFlug - flight<br \/>\nKrieg - war<br \/>\nMontag - Monday<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Staub - dust<br \/>\nlieb - kind<br \/>\ngelb - yellow<br \/>\nKorb - basket<br \/>\ntaub - deaf<br \/>\nhalb - half<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Bad - bath<br \/>\nStrand - beach<br \/>\nund - and<br \/>\nAbend - evening<br \/>\nHund - dog<br \/>\nBild - picture<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2><a id=\"post-61598-_49yp1tmzp5o1\"><\/a>#4: Learn the Special German Sounds and Their Pronunciation<\/h2>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61598-_4kg83j63wbmp\"><\/a>How to pronounce \u00c4<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice that the phonetic symbol for the short \u201c\u00e4\u201d sound in German is <strong>the same symbol as for the short \u201ce\u201d: \/\u025b\/<\/strong>.
