Talk:Freidenreden

"ie" & "ei" sounds

Anglophones regularly mix up those two sounds. There is a rule of thumb: when "e" and "i" go walking, the latter does the talking.

Exampels:

- der Stein [shtine] -> the stone

- der Bierkrug [beerkroog] -> the stein

Rammstein (the band) [Rummshtine] --- German "r", not the retroflex "r" sound

Ramstein (the city) [Rumshtine]

- der Frieden [freedun] -> the peace here "ie" and "ea" are the same sound
