MIX AND MATCH SOME ACTION WORDS (VERBS)
If you want to say:
I WANT TO SPEAK GERMAN
It goes like this:
Ich will deutsch sprechen - [ich vill DOY-tch SHPRAY-chen]
You can alter what you do to "SPEAK" by using different words like
I MUST SPEAK - Ich muss sprechen - [Ich moos SHPRAY-chen]
I CAN SPEAK - Ich kann sprechen - [Ich can SHPRAY-chen]
I WANT TO SPEAK - Ich will sprechen - [Ich vill SHPRAY-chen]
I LIKE TO SPEAK - Ich mag sprechen - [Ich mag SHPRAY-chen]
You can use other action words like:
TO GO - GEHEN - GAY-EN
TO COME - KOMMEN - COMMON
TO BE - SEIN - ZINE
TO HAVE - HABEN - HAR-BEN
TO SEE - SEHEN - ZAY-EN
TO SPEAK - SPRECHEN - SHPRAY-chen
TO ASK (questions) - FRAGEN - FRAR-GEN
TO GIVE - GEBEN - GAY-BEN
TO TAKE - NEHMEN - NAME-EN
TO TRAVEL/DRIVE - FAHREN - FAR-EN
TO BUY - KAUFEN - COW-FEN
TO DO/MAKE - MACHEN - MACH-EN
Then, see how you can mix and match them to say what you want.
I MUST GO - Ich muss gehen - [Ich moos GAY-en]
I CAN COME - Ich kann kommen - [Ich can common]
I WANT TO DO - Ich will machen - [Ich vill mar-chen]
I LIKE TO TRAVEL - Ich mag fahren - [Ich mag FAR-en]
Please don't forget the prounciation of CH. If you don't speak Scotts,
"CH" in German also sounds a little like saying an English "H" and
clearing your throat at the same time. Have fun!
Again, we would like to thank Fluency-Today and Michael Bristow, for their help in rereating ths page !
