Learn German with SpeedyConkiwi #8.1 [difficult words - please see sidebar for detailed info!]
let me know what you think!
when i had the idea of people submitting words, at first i was thinking i was just gonna do one video, pronouncing a whole lot of words in a short time. but once i started thinking about pronunciation problems in general, i felt it may be a lot clearer if i explained a bit more about the words?
would you agree or prefer a short video with just WORD after WORD?
hope you’re all good,
xx

Most German names depend on jobs, so they can be translated literally, f.e:
Schmidt = (black)smith
Bauer = farmer
Schultz = major
Schneider = taylor
Müller = miller
Schreiner = carpenter
König = king
Graf = earl
Koch = cook

I’ve moved to …
I’ve moved to Germany with my fiance and haven’t had time for formal lessons yet. (long story).
Anyway, I’ve noticed that there are a few words that the Vowel is changed to an Umlaute vowel when you make it plural.
My boyfriend is very bad at explaining things to me, but he did teach me the difference between “bird”, “birds” and… another word I can’t print here. I still get the plural and “that other word” confused, though.

@commadore129
Yes, Schmidt is related to smith, as a lot of german and english names were derived from medieval professions.
There is an entry in the german wikipedia explaining “Schmidt”. Use google translate…

I have been begging you since the first video, teach us accurately how to pronounce the R I find it specially difficult when I’m tryna pronounce a word, The only thing i’ve accomplished is pronounce the word with a french R, i sound way weird but It is because i cannot pronounce correctly german R, I like the way you are, when you laugh I also do, and carry on, I’m looking forward your next video,

I have a question about the R and I know you said you don’t really know how to describe when to roll it lol But I was just wondering, is it rolled at the tip of the tongue like in Spanish or at the back of the throat like in French?? D:
