I think most or all of those special cases are words taken from Ancient Greek, e.g. Usually (a near-close near-front rounded vowel) when it's shortĪnd (like, but as a short vowel) when it's short in certain special cases. (a close front rounded vowel) when it's long (the symbol indicates a long vowel), In Standard German, the ü sound, which can be spelled or (though not every written stands for an ü sound!), is Generally speaking, it seems to me as if English speakers tend to have their tongue more to the bottom of the mouth while Germans have it closer to the top use their lips more to compensate, but that might just be a misconception. I would say it's like in French "déjà vu", but sadly, the English speaking world has a totally incorrect pronounciation of that. The "ü" has no equivalent in English I'm aware of. "Fällen" sounds the same as "Fell." The tongue for the "e" sound is even further forward. In Hochdeutsch, the correct pronounciation for "ä" is similar to the "ai" in English "air", but with the tongue a bit further forward (think of someone speaking effete, "a hot air balloon"), or the "ei" in "heir" when you don't pronounce it with a slight hitch.Īlso note that "ä" often sounds very similar to "e" in German, at least in the short pronounciation. Yes, there are definitive ways, but there are some regional differences.
