The German Sound Foundation

An Introduction to German Vowels

The video below is from an older Mimic Method video series called "Louise Mimics German."

​The series centered around a German training session that I (Idahosa) had with Mimic Method team member, Louise Thompson. After I explained the concept to Louise, she designed a presentation to re-explain these concepts to you.

In this video, Louise explains the basics of German vowels, starting with the question: "What is a vowel?" Please watch the entire video, because a basic understanding of vowels in general is necessary to mastering the vowel sounds specific to German.

After you have watched the video, click the link below to move onto Lesson 2.
