Unlock the German Alphabet: A1 Course for Beginners - | Lesson 1 - Part 4

Assalam Walekum and welcome to Germany for Student Channel. In the German language course A1 level, which was lesson number one, we had started a topic in that but we could not discuss every topic of A1 in such detail, so I have started a series and in this series we will see such alphabets in German language that when these two or three alphabets are combined, a specific sound is produced. Which are those alphabets that we can combine? Today is the second lesson on that. Before this, we saw the combination of S to Ha. Whenever S to Ha comes together in a German word, we will pronounce it by using Sh. And in today's lesson, we will see that when two alphabets A and E come together in German language, how will we pronounce them. This will also improve your pronunciation and you will also get to learn a lot of new vocabulary. So whenever A and E come together in German language, we will pronounce them by using I. In English, there is simply one alphabet I. In German language, I is pronounced as Sh. To pronounce, we use two alphabets A and E. Now we will see which are those nouns, verbs or adjectives in German language in which A and E come together and if they come together, then how do we pronounce them and what do these alphabets mean. So if we write A and E together, it produces the sound of I. And I in German language means egg. So I egg. Next example is ice. A and E are pronounced together as I. And if S comes before it, then it is called ice ice. In German language, ice cream is pronounced as I. Now, taking this word a little further, I and S A N Jan Eisen Eisen means iron. Then we have another example. Now we are looking at such alphabets where A and E come in the beginning and we are starting all these alphabets with I. Next example is Ir Ir Ir says bucket. Next example is mine. Now here, A and E are coming in the middle of these words, not at the beginning. So it starts with M a e i my and the next is en mine mine means mine another example dine de a e die en dine dine says your jain s a ee jai en jain bine be a e by en bine bine says leg the next example is nine n a e na en nine nine does not mean khan kha a e khae enn khan khan does not mean also site site set a e site site site says time is zeit site and zeit these are two such words which have totally different pronunciation of s and jud in German a lot of people who go above a good level in German language they call site which means time as site site because they have read jad in English and they use the same pronunciation here in German as well but it is not so here zeid means sin the preposition sin in English is zeit in German and it starts with s s a e zeit jait se jail jail sa ae jai jail jail says rope ko tha il tha ae tha il next example is tylan tylan is a verb which means to share, to distribute next example see guys guys er ae guy s a j guy jai gaje says journey ko journey er ae guy th a en than righton righton says horse riding or ghodha sawari r bite r bite r bite is said to work and ar bite is a verb which means to work jai the sa ae jai the ae tha jai jai says safa or page fry height now this is such a word in which the combination of a e is coming twice, so you will hear the sound of i twice here fi height fi height fry height says freedom bla ban be l ae blai be a en ben bla ban bla ban says stop to stay next example is shaga Iban shaga ban es seha, we did this in the last lesson, sha er a e gai be a en ben shai ban, so you must be getting an idea here that if you know these small combinations very well, that how to pronounce which alphabet's combination, then these combinations are used in many German words with great ease, so you can easily make your pronunciation fluent and better in the German language, if you know these combinations, which combinations exist and how to pronounce them, then I hope that through today's lesson you would have got an opportunity to learn some new vocabulary and it will help you in improving your German language pronunciation, do give your feedback and if you liked the video, then do share it, like it and do give your feedback, we will see you again in the next video with a new combination, Allah hafiz
