Don't
try to learn everything on this page at one sitting. You
can refer back to this page over & over again, so
you can take off into the Internet in any direction (from
anywhere) and when you want to figure out a particular
sound, come back to this page and LOOK FOR THE SOUND
IN QUESTION.
...
unless of course you're somewhat anal retentive and have
to know everything at one time. Of course you are welcome
to attack the whole alphabet at once, then go on to sing
it.

BOTTOM
LINE: If you had been born in Köln THAT SAME MOUTH
wouldn't have any problem speaking 100% absolutely, totally,
completely, and utterly AKZENTFREI ... You would NOT have
an accent. Period. So, ... how much you gonna practice?
OK ... so you would speak "Kölsch." |

| It's
okay to spit. Cough a little and go for it !!! |
| This
sound is different from English. |
| It's
kinda like coughing up a loogie. |
|
Is
that how you spell "loogie" ??? |
| |
| Gargling
works as an example of the sounds on this page to some
degree ... |

| The
wetter your throat is, the more likely it is that you'll
do these sounds successfully. I'd recommend a latté,
but in Germany it would definitely be a glass of wine
for me. |
