hello i started learning German. i learned a lot from this video. thank you so much

in the video, there is no mention of long and short ü sounds

according to Gemini AI

The "Mühle" vs. "Müll" Test

This is the best way to hear it:



Mühle [ˈmyːlə]: The ü is long, smooth, and tense.



Müll [mʏl]: The ü is short, aggressive, and relaxed.

Mühle mill Müll trash

fühlen to feel füllen to fill

Hüte hats Hütte hut/shack

this was a copy - paste from gemini. not certain if it is accurate though.

please make a short video on this so the difference could be actually heard.

thank you very much

Is "an" another exception like "das"?

Can you recommend a book or academic article of some sort that covers the same material? I'm working on a bibliography and this material is quite difficult to access freely.

I can understand that when two consonants come before the vowel, it makes it short, like in this example word: "Gebrochen", but what about these two words "Gerochen" and "Gefochten"? The "e" is short even tho there is one consonant after it. Any idea? 🤔

I've been playing games with a friend from Germany while also trying to learn German (not because of him) and I was telling him how difficult ü is. If it is just the sound alone, I can manage it, but then when attempting to speak an actual word, my mouth and tongue just don't want to cooperate.

2:49 The "e" is also long in erst [eːrst], Dresden [ˈdreːsdən], den [deːn], wer [veːr], wem [veːm], wen [veːn], der [deːr], er [eːr]. However, it is short in es [ɛs], des [dɛs], wes [vɛs].

Hello mr feerguson.
Does UNSER- as (our) change with cases.
I saw a sentance:
Villeicht ist ein vogel gegen unser flugzeug geflogen.
Gegen is always accusative , but unser doesnt change.

Das reiseburo hat ihnen kein zimmer reserviert.
So , i have a question. Do we have an indirect objeckt only if someone is giving something to somone. In this instance the agency hasnt reserved a room for them. I think you get the point...
