Intro music
And now we have here the alphabet.
The alphabet is very very simple.
It is the same as in English.
There are the same letters, of course, and then there is also ä, ö, ü, and ß.
There are two songs of that. If you want, you can sing along.
This is, of course, just like in English, but this song here is in the melody of "Are you Sleeping?"
And that is here...
A-B-C-D
E-F-G-H
I-J-K
Wonderful.
L-M-N-O-P-Q
R-S-T-U-V-W
X-Y-Z
That is nice.
A bit slower this time. Hopefully you can sing along.

"Wunderbar" is "wonderful" in English.
I just used that in this song in order to make it a bit easier.
There is also this melody of the alphabet. That is "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
If you don't know that, then it is ...
Twinkle twinkle little star.
Oh how far away from me you are.
Wonderfully beautiful and unknown.
Like a streaming diamond.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
Oh how far away you are.
If we do this here with the alphabet, then we have a few other things here.
We have these letters just like in English and it is...
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
H-I-J-K
L-M-N-O-P
Q-R-S-T-U-V-W
X-Y-Z OK
The ABC is finished.
That is the alphabet in German.
There are also other letters.
That is ä.
We say, when we pronounce that, that is ä.
That is ä. Then we say ä.
If you say ö, then it is O with an E on the end. Ö is ö.
And then ü. That is ü. Ü.
That is ü. That is like an U and E together.
Then we have ä, ö, ü.
Those are the three letters that are not in this song.
Then there is of course, ß.
That is just like two S's together.
If you spell something, you need two phrases.
That is "Wie buchstabiert man...?"
"How does one spell...?"
Wie buchstabiert man....?
Then what you want to spell.
How does ones spell Antrim?
That is my last name.
How does one spell Antrim?
One spells it A-N-T-R-I-M.
Of you can also ask "Wie schreibt man...?"
How does one write...?
One writes that A-N-T-R-I-M.
One writes that Antrim.
How does one spell...?
How does one write...?
Those are the questions.
And "one spells that..."
or "one writes that...."
Those are the answers.
