There are also a few ‘false friends’ – words which look the same in German and English but have different meanings. Watch out for words such as Gymnasium - grammar school also - so Dose - tin Menü - set meal Rock - skirt What else helps? German and English are closely related languages. There are a lot of words in German which you can understand if you know a few simple spelling rules. These will help you to work out what the word is in English. Here are some examples: • Words where ‘ch’ in German is replaced by ‘k’ in English. e.g. machen - to make Becher - beaker • Words where ‘t’ in German is replaced by ‘d’ in English. e.g. trinken - drink tanzen - dance • Words where ‘d’ in German is replaced by ‘th’ in English. e.g. Leder - leather danken - to thank • Words where ‘pf’ in German is replaced by ‘p’ in English. e.g. Pfund - pound Pfeffer - pepper 97
• Words where ‘b’ in German is replaced by ‘f/v’ in English. e.g. sieben - seven über - over • Words where ‘ss’ or ‘ß’ in German is replaced by ‘t’ in English. e.g. weiß - white Mineralwasser - mineral water • Words where ‘cht’ in German is replaced by ‘ght’ in English. e.g. Nacht - night acht - eight • Words where ‘z’ in German is replaced by ‘t’ in English. e.g. zehn - ten zu - to • Words where ‘g’ in German is replaced by ‘y’ in English. e.g. gestern - yesterday gelb - yellow • Words where ‘v’ in German is replaced by ‘f’ in English. e.g. Vater - father voll - full Understanding words when Listening It is easier to use guidelines when you are reading than when you are listening to German, because you have more time to stop and think about the unknown word and the words around it. All the same, there are some ways in which you can help yourself. Are any words the same as in English? There are many words which sound the same, or almost the same as in English, and have the same meaning, such as Finger Zoo Supermarkt Wetter Student spanisch Job Sommer Telefon Bäckerei Tee Tennis Theater Industrie Paket Pullover Konzert Mechaniker modern Nummer Geografie Bungalow Foto Februar Radio Salz 98
