05_2-Das Alphabet_COGNATE Blitz
You already know many German words. Some German words are spelled exactly like English words and have the same meanings: "Ball, Name, Hand, Sofa, warm, wild".
Many other German words are spelled almost like English words, differing noly in one or two letters: "Amerika, Fisch, Kaffee, Prinz".
In these words and many others, English hard "c" becomes German "k", English "sh" becomes German "sch", and English soft "c" becomes German "z".
Some other German cognates have two dots---called "Umlaut"-- over the vowels "a, o, u".
This Umlaut changes the pronunciation of the vowel:
"Bäcker"- baker, "Öl"-oil, "grün"= green.
