2.1: The German Alphabet

The German alphabet is the next most important feature to learn in sequence. The same goes for any language, if you do not know what letters make up basic words, how can you put a word together? More importantly, how is it spelled?

The German alphabet is a crucial part in understanding the language. Please take a look over this chart to make sure you have grasped the concept. Many words in English that are broken down into letter form are pronounced with longer sayings in German. Once you feel you know this chart, head on over to the next lesson.

If you may have noticed right from the start, this alphabet has 30 characters. Yes, that is four more than our English counterpart. I urge you to memorize this list. You will be much better off, good luck! Hint: Can you notice the similarity to English?
