Show transcript
Knowing the German sound-symbol correspondences well supports pronunciation and understanding of new words. Some famous German city names are different from English and need good pronunciation for recognition and clarity. The nominative case identifies the subject in a sentence, i.e., who is doing the action of a verb. Words for 'the' and 'a' change according to the grammatical gender of the noun. 'Wie sagt man das auf Deutsch?' is a key question to ask the meaning of unknown words.
