Key learning points
- German [d] at the beginning of a word or syllable sounds like English 'd'; [d] at the end of a syllable sounds like -t.
- Word mastery includes understanding and producing words without support in new contexts.
- Relative clauses add information about the noun in the main clause without starting another sentence.
- English uses relative pronouns ‘who’, ‘that’, ‘which’, while German uses the definite article that matches the noun.
- In German, the relative pronoun kicks the verb to the end of the relative clause; this is called word order three (WO3).

Common misconception
German [d] is always pronounced as English [d].
German [d] at the beginning of a word or syllable sounds like English 'd'; [d] at the end of a syllable sounds like -t. For example, the sentence 'die Landschaft in Deutschland ist wunderschön' contains examples of both [d] sounds.
