Show transcript
[th] is pronounced as in 'Theater'. All German words containing [th] come from other languages. The 'h' is silent. Word order 1 (WO1) - subject, verb, adverb, noun - is the standard word order of a simple German sentence. To emphasise when something happens, swap the position of the subject and the adverb. This is word order 2 (WO2). The verb remains in the same position in WO2 as in WO1.
