DEU4ARAB_405 - German short "o" for Arabic Learners of German
Channel: German as a Foreign Language
Date: 29/01/2016

This short video deals with a German sound that may be difficult for speakers of Arabic: "o", a sound which is not directly represented in Arabic. However, by means of a careful control of one's own tongue position one can easily get from Arabic [ u: ] via German [ o: ] down to [ ɔ ]. It requires some training though.
