    I've been living for 20 years in Germany, and am actually fluent in German, but I 've learned something new, thanks

    There's probably one more thing that needs mentioning: 'progressive devoicing' in word clusters. It goes as follows: ''Sie gab dem Mann die Tasche''. Normally you would want to say /ga:p/ /de:m/, but progressive devoicing takes places and changes the cluster to /ga:p/ /te:m/.
    The same applies to ''Seid bloß leise!'' /sait plo:s laizə/, ''Das Fahrrad gehört ihm'' /'fa:ɐra:t/ /kə'høːɐt/ or ''Der Pullover ist aus Wolle'' /aus / /fɔlə/. I am mentioning this because it's key to understanding spoken German and I have just happened to discover it and found it incredibly useful.

      Only true if it is a regional variety of German language. Depends on what "dialect" you speak. Progressive devoicing only happens at the end of a syllable not at the beginning.

    Grad student who had to do a speedy review for a college placement exam. This helped get my brain working again. Good tips, especially on the "H" before a vowel making it long. Thanks. Whose textbook do you prefer? Wall and Caldwell? Odom?

    Gab, have you uploaded this video several times, or is it just my imagination? Anyway, I would like to request again that you do a similar quality overview of Russian sounds and spellings; most resources ignore IPA and just try to encourage you to try (to sound crap), oversimplifying the whole picture and giving you inaccurate advice.

    Hey Gabriel, are your pronouncing [ɔɐ̯] in the word 'Dorf' or is it in fact ɔR like in the transcription?

  • @darkseed2k9
    @darkseed2k9 Před 6 lety

    "wählen" is an exception to these rules of short/long vowel? As "ä" precedes an H, it should be pronounced as a long "ä" (/e/) but it seems everyone pronounces it as /ɛ/ or /ɛ:/ ...

    You said that a short vowel is followed by 2+ consonants. But in the transcription of the word montags [ˈmoːntaks], you wrote a long o. Is this an exception or a transcription error? Tell me please

    • @gabrielloureiro2832
      @gabrielloureiro2832 Před rokem +2

      Hey, I hope I'm not that late to answer you. Here's the big deal. Montags is a compound word. Take 'Wegweiser' as an example. The 'e' of 'Weg' is long even it following 2 consonants. That's because Weg is a word by itself, and it preserves its original sound in the compound. That's the same if 'Montags'. The more isolated words you learn, you'll see clearly which vowel is long or short.
