Talk:Völlige Verzweiflung

Pronunciation

---

The umlaut "ö" in "völlige Verzweiflung" is pronounced aproximately like the "ea" in the word "earl" rather than an "oe" like in "foe". The pronunciation of umlauts is different from their parent vowls. The dots are not some fancy decoration like metal dots (Mötley Crüe). The meaning of some words can change radically when those dots ae omitted [Waschbär (noun), waschbar (adjective)].
