The German (Deutsch) alphabet is more or less like English. They have only four more letters. One problem you encounter is the different pronunciation of the letter though there are also several sounds in the German letter or two letter combination. There is also a long and short version of German vowels, A, E, I, O, U and Umulate A, O, U. Take a look at the following alphabet table.
In this post, I am sharing the writing the Pronunciation of Alphabets only (Combination of alphabets is not discussed).
