FAQ

What are ä, ü, ö, and ß?

The first three letters are umlauts, or Umlaute in German. The 'ä' sounds like the 'ai' in 'air' and is represented by /ɛ/ in the IPA. The 'ü' sounds like the French 'u' and can be produced by pronouncing 'ee' in 'free' but with rounded lips. IT is represented by /y/ in the IPA. The 'ö' roughly corresponds to the 'i' in 'bird' in accents like the one of New Zealand. Alternatively it is the same vowel sound in 'may' in, amongst others, General American English, but with rounded lips. It is represented by /ø/ in the IPA. The last letter, ß, is either called 'Eszett' (SZ) or 'Scharfes S' (sharp s) d

    Does anyone have a good RSS feed in German?

    Hi, everyone. I'm looking to practice my German, and reading is usually a good way to do that. Does anyone have a good RSS feed for that? It can be news, blog posts, etc. :)

    I'll share the one I'm currently using: https://www.nachrichtenleicht.de/. It's a little basic, as the name implies, so I'm looking for something more advanced.
