Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- [qu] sounds like in 'bequem'.
- [w] sounds like in 'Antwort'.

- Certain nouns are always followed by particular prepositions and cases.
- Certain adjectives are always followed by particular prepositions and cases.
Keywords
Preposition - a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase or a pronoun, connecting it to another word
[qu] - pronounced as in 'bequem'
[w] - pronounced as in 'Antwort'
Common misconception
[qu] sounds the same in English and German.
In German, the SSC [qu] is pronounced 'k' then 'w' (which in German is like the English 'v' sound). Avoid confusion with English - for example, 'Qualität' vs 'quality'. In German, 'kw' appears only in complound words, e.g., 'Trinkwasser'.
Teacher tip
Give students plenty of pronunciation and read aloud practice with [qu] words, to ensure accurate German pronunciation, and highlight the different stress patterns between English and German: the stress is on the first syllable in English and on the last in German ('consequence' vs 'Konsequenz').
