German Sounds
Careful, some letters change their pronunciation a bit in certain situations!
sauber
sauber, süß, Saft
(as in “zoo”)
Before a vowel, the s in German actually makes the sound of an English z!
Talking Temperature
Keep in mind, only objects can be warm, kalt or heiß. For example, Der Tee ist kalt! or Die Kartoffeln sind warm! You'll learn how to complain about yourself being too hot or cold later.
Ist der Kaffee heiß?Is the coffee hot?
