The Umlaut Song!
German has three extra vowels in its alphabet, ä, ü, ö. The curious double dots over the letters are called "Umlaut". These three vowels can be confusing for new learners of German, but it's really not difficult if you train your hearing and pronunciation, like with this perfect little video. It's very slow, set to music, and gives you many examples of the use of ä, ü, ö, so that you'll master them in no time!
