twitter.com New Episode! Subscribe for more! (yes yes, I do mostly other stuff, but a girl's gotta be able to promote herself, right? My channel, my rules.)

It should be kind of in the middle of the sound of "ou" in "you" and the long "eeee") - ß (basically a double "s", sounds in general a bit stronger than the normal s) and combinations such as - ie (English "ee") - ei (English "i") - eu (English "oy") - äu (same as "eu": English "oy") - au (like "ow" in English "wow") - sch (English "sh") - ch (two different pronounciations, watch the video and try again and again, I can't really describe that in words LOL) NOT MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: "qu" is pronounced like "coo" in English "cool". The Q basically never really stands alone. Hope that helped :D Thanks to all the new viewers and subscribers for the support and feedback! It's overwhelming and I really appreciate it!! This started out as a silly video response and became this big project, and I know it takes me forever to post a new episode, but I will keep on posting more of these!
