Yay, das Alphabet!
For some reason this video starts to lag BIG TIME with Safari after a while, but not with Firefox. So... don't use Safari.
The German title of Sesame Street's "ABC-Disco" is "Sesamstraße - Unser Alphabet ist das". It should be on YT.
Alternatively, just google "German alphabet" and see what is thrown at you ;)

What you need to do to be my intro:
Record yourself saying the following things:
"Hallo Leute! Ich bin ___ (You can say whatever you want here - name, (youtube) nickname, where you live, where you're from, why you're learning German, or anything else you'd like, one or more things. It's best if you do this part in German, too, but if you're too shy, English is fine as well - just try to keep the video to roughly 10 seconds or shorter) und ihr seht Deutsch Für Euch!"
Please don't edit your videos; if you'd like something changed (e.g. color correction), let me know in your email. I'll make sure to make you look as good as possible anyway, though ;)
I can use a lot of video formats, but your safest bets are the usual candidates: .avi, .mov, .mp4 - DON'T use .dv, please.
Once you're happy with your video, send it to me via ONE of these channels:
- attach the video to an email to dfekontakt@gmail.com
- send me a DropBox link/invite me to a folder (also dfekontakt@gmail.com)
- send me a link to a the video on UA-cam, also via mail
- please title your message "DFE Intro"
There's NO time limit for this, this will be an on-going thing as long as you send me videos.
I'm looking forward to your submissions - feel free to get creative with it! :)

![[Learn German] German Alphabet - pronunciation and examples](/img/n.gif)
Your mastery of English makes you an excellent teacher of German pronunciation for native English speakers. It is very difficult for us to pronounce "pure" vowel sounds without putting a "tail" on it, and you "get" it! 👍
ok, learning German for has been a hard and creepy road but you've literally changed all my perspective in 7 minutes. Thank you, had a blast with your videos.
That is lovely, thanks for telling me 😊
So, I've been studying German pretty intensely over the past few months (I was lucky enough for the US Army to allow me a month based in Ramstein where I made trips to Frankfurt and Düsseldorf and just basically take in the beauty that is Germany- which essentially gave me the eagerness to learn the language). I've been utilizing several sites for learning, German TV and music, and books, and most helpful of all: your videos. They are extremely useful and informative and I can't thank you enough for being so helpful and eager to teach.
Ich danke dir!
This comment too helpful for me thanks.
I'm American, born and raised. My bloodline is mostly German. I'm learning Deutsch with DuoLingo. You, however, really help me a lot. Danke.
Haha, the thing is, I probably do about 3 takes of every sentence (on average) - I even script most of this. Apparently, I just failed to think of some of the sounds in time, most of the corrections in this video are actually things friends brought to my attention >_>
The corrections I do mostly occur during editing, not right after shooting. And rerecording the entire thing just doesn't seem worth it to me xP
And thank you! :) I hope you'll stay with me for a while ;)
It's ok.👍🙏
It's the first video of yours I watch and I got really impressed with the easy/clear/practical way you teach German. Bischer habe ich nur ein bischen D gelernt aber ich muss weiter gehen weil ich muss es fürs leben (täglich). I think your videos will keep me on track. Thanks for offerering these free lessons! :-)
I just found your videos. I am trying to learn German in my free time, I am amazed by the number of free courses around, specially over here in UA-cam. I'd like to thank you very much for taking your valuable time to give everyone a chance to learn this incredible language. It is really a door to culture and knowledge. My feedback to you so far is that you did a superb work, the lessons are funny, useful, short and effective, perfect for those with little time (which is my case). Once more, thanks. Tschüss.
I've only watched 2 episodes by far, I'm still exploring your channel. You are hilarious, I think your channel will be a great start for me. Sometimes I have trouble soaking in information, I get bored very easily. You keep my attention and your hilarious! Very happy you made the channel and hope to learn as much as possible! Danke :)
I started learning Deutsch at Christmas. I only knew Das Auto and Aufart (driving once in Germany). Now I've put my iPhone (including Siri) and my Mac in Deutsch, I'm writing in Deutsch, and I am even trying to teach my German customers (I work at an Apple Store) in German, although they correct me A LOT but are very helpful. I listen to HR Info (news radio) from Frankfurt every morning while I cook my breakfast and get ready for work and also listen to Rock Antenne in Friesing (I love rock), plus have started to watch movies in Deutsch as well. I've fully submerged myself and am trying to learn as much about the German culture and way of life as well as I am going to be going to school to get my teaching degree and Teaching English as a Second language certification and hopefully, hopefully see about moving to Germany to teach english. I want to say thanks for the great work you are doing, and giving me one more resource in order to learn this AMAZING language! Viele Dank Katija! I will keep watching as long as you keep making these video!
Wow, you sure sound determined! :) Awesome. I bet you're making big steps at a time :)
Yes, I've been making HUGE strides with apps (Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, Memrise), movies, music, web sites, and now your channel.
Thank you again for your helpful videos. I've got a ton of questions still, but being fluent in French and English and also knowing some Kroatien helps sometimes with the rules and gender.
Anyhow, keep up the good work!
Joe
***** Why kroatien lol
+Vod Stein
Meinem familie ist Kroatien. I live in Canada, but have a huge family in Croatia. I learned some of the language growing up.
***** Ah ok je croyais que tu voulais l'apprendre pour le fun :) Good luck with learning german
I am Brazilian and think the sounds of German vowels "a", "e", "i", "o", "u" are very similar to the vowel sounds in portuguese.
even the sounds of the vowels ä, ö, ü, are easy to understand for me.
All Euro language vowels are similar...there is no relationship between Portuguese and German.
@Wanderson Ramos Apesar da nota no final, soou meio agressivo a parte que diz - "Aprenda a interpretar antes de dar uma opinião". Só uma consideração, para ajudar a desenvolver uma linguagem mais assertiva ainda. Hehe :^)
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN GERMAN LANGUAGE FROM ZERO YOU CAN FOLLW MY CHANEL AND GERMAN LANGUAGE IS VERY EASY TRUST ME
Au is the same as in our automático, aumento, etc.
Poisé ne mano tbm percebi isso, os gringo sofre com portugues mas parece mais facil aprender alemao pelo ingles
Fantastic! This is the best German alphabet video on UA-cam. (My husband is a native speaker and he thought your technique was great) I love how you use associations especially the letters that are different from English (like 'e' and 'i'). The associations make the differences memorable. Your delivery is engaging and fun: you turned a dry subject into something easy and enjoyable to learn. Can't wait to see the other episodes!
Hey Katja!
I think you're doing a great job. Thanks a lot for being kind enough and patient enough to do this for us.
All the best with everything.
Congrats! I really appreciate the way you teach us! It seems to be an easy language.
the "ü" and "r" sounds are easy for me because I speak French
and the "ch" sound is easy too because we have its first pronunciation in Tamazight and its second one in Arabic which are both my mother languages.
I don't really find German that hard... Maybe because I'm too used to trying different languages all the time.
Thank you for the lesson!
I like the way you explained the letters. It is enlightening and so useful. I have a hard time learning it for some time. Your superb videos are great! It's clearly explained. Thanks!
This is gold. I have this video in my playlist named smile when u want.
Just watching her talk makes the day a little better. Deutsch für euch forever.
Clear cut explanation I must say.
I will call this German made simple. Thanks
Starting to watch all DFE episodes from the beginning on again... this is already THREE YEARS old
Yup. Kinda weird.
I'm doing the same
+Deutsch für Euch if u speak spanish the german u is familiar u because it is used in words such as un or usando :)
Yeah I'm starting them over again as well. It's amazing because there are little things I've forgotten or completely missed altogether. It's very valuable to go back over something even if you think you've mastered it. :)
Hey Katja! It's a great page you have! Congrats! I've always wanted to learn german, and as I thought I'd just given up, your page showed up on youtube! I just got mad I haven't seen it a year ago, but I'll certainly start learning now! Thanks a lot for that! :D
Thank you so much. People like you who give freely are making the world a better place!
Es ist immer wieder lustig sich als Deutscher sowas anzugucken xD
You get a laugh out of this..me too.She is not German.
@@katinasvenska She is German.
Wow that's great. I just found your channel on youtube and I'm so happy with that. I'm Brasilian and going to Germany next month. Thanks for your tips. And I would love to meet you in person. You seems nice :)
Bye and again thank you
Your channel is awesome so far iv been wanting to learn German for ages and gave up when all i heard was computerized voices on most places!
thank you so much!!!
You're aweseom! I'm living in Germany for 6 months and I'm from the U.S.! This is such a huge help
I had to pause the video sometimes because I was laughing at your examples of how to pronounce the letters :) thanks for this!
Okay. Found the answer for "Schtasi".
I have to say your videos are very good. Keep up the good work!
Thank you :)
What a beautiful teacher I got. Thanks for your videos. Learning german with your help!
Oh my god!
I loved tour channel, i was giving up from German before i saw it (its even harder than my mother tongue, portuguese). Thank you so much!!
Ha, just the effect I was going for, perfect - glad to hear that :)
🌸
I've wanted to learn german for a long time but never managed to start because of my laziness, I started making use of this quarantine trying to make the best out of it.
So I ask you a question, is it easier for me to watch all of the videos chronologically, or should I watch the prepared playlists?
@@DS-qg9cd Hey! So happy to hear you're using your quarantine productivity points on learning German! :)
If you watch the first, say 20-30 episodes chronologically, that will give you a lot of basic info. You can definitely skip some trivia eps if it's not info that is inetersting for you, or vocab if it's too specific and not relevant to what you want to learn rn. I would recommend that you check out the playlists, especially the Basics/A1 playlist I've made, since I've collected all the starter material there :) Just shop around a bit. Also make sure to collect a resource catalogue if you haven't already - my channel still doesn't cover everything, obviously :)
@@DeutschFuerEuch Thank you so much!
äu = oy
shit this is gonna be harder than i thought
laivat saapuu Haha :D Now imagine picking up Dutch afterwards, where they have many of the same diphthongs (plus some others), but pronounce them completely differently :D
Deutsch für Euch oh no.... i seriously need to keep that in mind in case i decide to learn another language
Deutsch für Euch I am Dutch lol
laivat saapuu i know right thats exactly what i was thinking right now lol
laivat saapuu A way to think of this is this way:
The letters with umlauts can also be written as "ae," "oe," and "ue." So that diphthong will be looked at as "aeu," and, as we all know, "eu" mays the "oi" sound. :D
Die Deutsche Sprache ist nicht so hart zu lernen, wie Englisch ist.
I'm going to Germany in July. I thought I might want to learn the language, but your videos are very encouraging. I'm downloading all of them to my phone so I can listen to them at work.
Sehr gut für Anfänger. Gute Erklärung. Ich gratuliere. Danke für die Veröffentlichung in UA-cam. Machen Sie weiter. Vieln Dank !!
I'm moving to Germany in about a month so this is really going to come in handy
+Quinn You're an disgusting Person Dude. I live in Germany and no one, of the Persons I know, would say something like that. You are just a Nazi. Really.
I really hope you're a troll. xD
I'm Nationalsozialistische, you are welcome in Deutschland, we are not racists, we just have fear of Zionists and Free-Masonics and its economics traps (unfortunately they rules the World and still killing people today, mainly Arabs, that is, truly Semites), I'm sure you are not one of them... Welcome to Germany Sparkle notaŕofessional!
oYoSchlaf thank you. I'm here now and I love it!!
Willkommen Sparkle notaprofessional!!!
It's kind of weird how most English speakers from Germany sound American. I mean, England is literally right there. Their accents are there for the taking.
Haha. Well, the thing is, to get good at a language you need exposure. And one is so much more exposed to American English these days.
Ahh, touchè.
Hmmm... I have another Theory:
B.E. came from the former Saxons emigrated from Germany to the Isle. So there the similaritys most certainly came from.
Later the A.E. derived from this B.E., but also a lot of Germans emigrated to America. This may have brought up a newer influence with it.
Also, old German not only has many similaritys to English, it also has with Jiddish. So maybe this may have bring more change to the A.E.
So, my conclusion: A.E. has more in common with German than B.E. due more cultural influence from Germany or common sources than B.E. has.
Because I were more exposed to B.E. than to A.E. all my life (British Zone). But still my Accent often makes people think, I am an mental retarded American (No offense, but my spoken pronounciation must be good while my Grammar suck, so it is meant as a real medical condition...)
***** Do you live in Germany?
Thanks for your lessons. You make learning German much easier and interesting. Danke!
Long time subscriber here, never really committed to learning German but I just realized that going to Grad school in Germany is probably the best thing to do with my life. So I'm back ':D Thank you for keeping at it. Much appreciated.
"Try looking like a girly douchebag"
Me:But katia I dont want to be Miley Cyrus *cries* :.(..
"But without sticking your tongue out"
Me:fine
hhhhhhhhh
In spanish we pronounce the vowels like that too so *cross her fingers hoping everything will be easy* *Plays the video again*
+Jennifer Cardce JAJAJA yes most of them are similar :)
+Jennifer Cardce im german have to learn spanish as my 3rd language and its the woooooorst frensh and english are way easier then spanish
I have fallen in love in your teaching style..Nice one
Thank you
Congratulations! Your classes are lots of fun and you just pass on the message.
you are so cool!!
Now i can pronounce Mario Götze haha
FHRITP Schweinstëiger, Schwarzenegger, Panzërkampfwagen, Bremen (still not sure how to pronounce it correctly), and other names.
Sie sind so gut eine Lehrerin! Der Kurs ist sehr lustig und lebendig! Er gefällt mir sehr!
Your videos are so easy to learn from. Thank you sooooooooooo much for doing this
I just realized german pronunciation is easy for a spanish speaker!
Spanish is also easy to speak for germans
I'm portuguese and it was easy for me too!
madalena amaral Oh really?? One learns something new everyday. Obrigado!!
Bueno para nosotros en mas fácil aprender Alemán si sabes Ingles..👍👍
For me, as a Spanish speaker, is difficult the pf sound and the qv, the r not at all, in Spanish is taught with the example of making gargles. Although in some places the r sound is like strong r in Spanish. Also the umlaut are something difficult, especially the ö and ü, the ä is easy if you know something of English sounds.
This is the 3rd language I'm attempting to learn. My second language was Japanese and I'm fluent, but that was a breeze compared to German :O
Really? How fast did you learn it? I have always tried to learn it! Where dod you learn it? Uujhhgh!!
I became fluent somewhere around 3 years. It's a very easy language tbh. 日本語は超楽しいよ！がんばるよー！
You work hard on German, bro!
Like, you mean with the subtitles on?
***** :D If you're not just trolling, please don't propagate this :D Apart from the fact that, while watching Anime regularily will give you a lot of practice in hearing, pronouncing and - after some serious consumption - decent understanding, it isn't very efficient in terms of learning active language use (barely at all, actually), most Anime also use very non-standard Japanese that would not be considered proper or even acceptable. People will cut you some slack as a foreigner, but there are certain lines that can be very awkward (or at worst insulting) to cross.
It's also pretty offensive to reduce Japanese culture and language contact to Anime, but that's another conversation ;)
Kylie McDonald If you're serious about it, get some books (ideally some that include CDs with audio recordings), look for classes in your area, find some Japanese friends or language buddies (depends on the area you live in, of course) and start with UA-cam-tutorials that make the beginnings fun. Then, with that proper knowledge to back it up and actually carry you forward, watch more Anime to school your ears and get a better idea of Japanese in use but, again, be careful about assuming that this is how people actually speak. Also, don't underestimate kanji ;)
I am so appreciative of your videos! I love learning German and hope to not be that person who is absolutely beyond clueless when I go back. :)
Omg I freaking love this thanks for making this!!! I'm a new learner and I did one lesson per two days ( one learning two practicing) and I'm actually really proud of myself ^^
Love your videos!
the harder for me was german "ch" like in the word "ich", but i learned it :)
+Assas
Greeks, Dutchmen and Arabs have less trouble with that.
HesseJamez but there are different chs
Doesnt English already have this sound like in 'huge'?
Same
Wow, I'm not even focused on learning I just found her channel and she's really cute. .-.
This is perfect!
My major problem with German was pronunciation, and now I finally understand it!
Thank you so much!!
These series are just awesome. Thank you very much from Iran.
if you have learnt the Chinese pinyin , the ü shouldn't be a problem for you cuz it is similar
This is the 3rd language my mother language is Arabic and 2nd is English
but German quiet hard tho
Arabic is harder xx thats coming from a Palestinian who knows 3 languages and trying to learn german lol
+Len Nat Trying to scare the Israelis? I'm sorry, I just had to :-(
ich danke Ihnen für den Deutsch-Unterricht!
Never was Learning German so funny and excited... thanks you are Awesome Teacher
Out of interest, what "accent" is your German, and to what extent is it coloured by your English-- which is obviously first class, and subtlety, but distinctly American.
Centzon Totochtin I speak Hochdeutsch in these videos as in real life, although in real life I do, of course, use colloqualisms and slurred speech. Since German is my first and native language, it's not colored by my English at all, except when I use English words :D

+Flexron Corp lol
Thoroughly enjoyed your class. Thank you.
Learning German is really a challenge for me, it's really difficult, but I'm sure I can do it. Thank you so much for this channel, Katja.
Did you ever learn?
French?! Who cares about French, I'm Albanian, sweetheart: we have all those sounds and more! That's got to be the only language that has two "r"!!!
Well that's good for you. Then you can forget about that comparison and maybe understand that there are languages that don't have "all those sounds and more", yes? ;)
Deutsch für Euch Just relieved I don't have to learn new sounds.
Skerdy
Well that's good, maybe just put it less patronizingly next time ;)
A huge part of my family is of Arabic descent and in the Arabic language you have every sound that a language can have. I'm German, by the way. Hallo, Katja. :)
Every sound? Ooh I highly doubt it :D But I can only write a few letters in Arabic, so what do I know ;) Hi :)
You are soooo cute!
Hello from California! Thank you for giving German lesson here..I need to learn German because I am moving to Switzerland..I took German class before and only for 9 hours..I learned little bit but hopefully will learn more from you. Danke DeutschFuerEuch!
I came here to learn German and became a fan of your humour. 😂 You're hilarious.
You are too cute.. i find it hard to concentrate
sounds like something you should work on
Wow dude best comment ever
lolz she is Savage
I think i like you more now
Thirsty dudes gunna thirst
Danke Katya…I had a blast with your videos…You are Amazing! love the way you teach…very entertaining ! May God bless you !
You make it sound so easy. Love your channel, thank you!
First lesson today! Super excited! Hope to get through til the end!
Hi this is Paul from the Philippines. I am trying to learn German. picked it up from duolingo but i'm trying other sources and found this page on youtube. yours is highly informative. thank you.
... hello is a very nice way to teach german, i will follow all your lessons, btw, i'm Italian, and i live in Germany, and i need to pratice everyday for live here.. thank you so much, ah.. your english is the best i heard here around!.. ciao
I'm learning German, have been for years and still not fluent! I need to focus so I found your videos here on youtube and I mastered the sounds ages ago coz I'm brilliant, but thanks for this, it was funny too!
I'm learning German for 5 years but I do not understand it, these videos are very helpful for me. Thank you!. Greetings from Croatia xoxo
Hallo Katja! Hola desde Medellín, Colombia. Quite interesting this video and a bit abstract, because of all those sounds. It's like a jewel for me, who is in love with the German language. I hope to watch this video many times and is a stuff for constant study. Your english is awesome, thanks also for that.
ach ein Glück, dass ich das ganze hinter mir habe... machst du aber trotzdem verdammt gut!
Very helpful the way you associated the sounds with english words and moving the mouth. In Portuguese there are a lot of these sounds, so I did not find it so hard, yet it can be tricky some times.
Thank you very much for your videos.
ich find es total cool was ihr so macht weiter so
I'd like to thank you for all your videos,you have helped me so much!
Du bist eine wunderbare Frau, ich habe viel von dir gelernt
Brilliant! It is definitely more entertaining than other videos I have seen. I am a true beginner. The only suggestion I have is to expand the length of the "word of the day" segment I had to rewind and play it several times to even see it because it was so fast.
Thanks for providing this course. It's fun and helpful~
Like your eye makeup btw.
Wow, as a starting translator who wants to learn more languages this is pretty useful, i'll definitely be watching all of your videos (:
I have just bumped here and am truly enjoying your videos. YOU are lovely and a very good tutor...and as I see your actions...you make me laugh...a very good way of teaching. Please keep it up!
The good thing of your "Deutsch" starts from the fact that some letters,words,and dipthongs ,are pronunciated like in spanish,so it's easier to learn german for anyone who raised speakings English outside home,and spanish inside home,
Danke for the videos. I'm new to studying German and I will be going through all your videos in order.
It's so much fun to and learn pronunciation in this video than other videos great job 👍
thank you for these videos!!! I don't have any money to spend on those over priced language learners and these videos really help me learn! I have a three month old son and I want him to know multiple languages so I'm gonna try to learn with him :)
The tip you wrote about your lips forming a "u" while forming the "I" sound in order to pronounce the "ü" was very handy! Danke!!! :)
You are awesome! Great and fun lesson! I love it! Thank you so much for doing this!
I think I am going to have to watch this every day before even get the hang of it ... I wish I could wake up just speak German I would be very happy .
I decided to start learning German so i subscribed :). Great Videos!!! Keep the good work :D
Es kommt die Zeit, in der das Wünschen wieder hilft ^^
I looooveee this channel, is very expressive and useful :) I really enjoy it :)
Hey. Just found out about you. And I´m glad I did. You seem like an interesting person. I´m looking forward to watch all of your videos! (indeed, my goal is watch all of them!)
Bis dann!
An excellent way to learn german! Thank you sooo much ❤️
ohhh thank God you made this videos. i was soooo desperate to learn German but now i could learn in your videos danke. danke :)
du bist Schön!
Just learning German, I love it and its awesome but very challenging. Thanks for the lesson!
i love this girl, my first language is spanish and it`s so hard to get the pronunciation... her tips hahaha is all i need.
Your English is so great! I can barely tell that you are a native German speaker! Anyway, this video and your other videos are helpful to me with learning German.
Guten Morgen Katia. Ich lerne deutche siet ein monat. I learn German through your lessons. It is very useful for me. I can speak French Italian Spanish and Portuguese. I want to speak German like you. Thanks for your excellent videos.
Danke Schön Katja
these videos are great!
You're more interesting to look at than the lesson itself, having said that this video is the most elaborate and comprehensible I've seen so far
Kenny Doorye You do realize how demeaning and rude that comment is, right? Thanks for the second part I guess.
Well that wasn't my intention and I apologise
Thank you :)
