I thought of another question! The little bit I know of German I understood that 'w's were pronounced as an English 'v'?
134. 6 Dec 2009 09:40

maddyjean08

Oh, yeah!! Thank you for reminding me, I must've spaced, so yeah, "w" sounds like v.

sorry, I think when you say DANKE the other person can answer BITTE.

w is always pronounced like the English V but the German V is many times pronounced as the English F as far as I know. For example Beethoven would sound Be-e-to-fen.

cool! Danke shurn! (I'm sure my spelling needs fixed) My Mom knows some German, but I have only picked up a little because she rarly speaks in it, except to say "est es ziet fer esen" or "slaphen" or "snel!"
