This is by far the best explanation I've found on ch sound. Vielen Dank, mein Freund!

I've never had a problem with this because of good teachers like you.

Best video on the CH sound EVER!! And I watched like 30 of them... KUDOS dude !!!

finaly I learnt ICH. please upload more videos.

WOW. I can't believe how amazing explanation this is. I nailed this sound in 5 minutes. I've been struggling with "ch" for more than 2 years. You are superb!!!!!!! Please continue with German pronunciation. You deserve to hit 100,000 subs in the next 365 days. Please make a video on the umlauts “ö”, and “ü”.

Thank you so much, I 've been searching for the tongue position for these two sounds for so long! Your video was really helpful

I think I finally get it, I just need to practice now!

Danke schön 🖤 It’s super helpful and the way you explain is perfect.

This is the best video I have watched so far!!!

American struggling with the pronounciation here This was by far the ebst explanation and exercises ive seen. Thank you so much!

It was so helpful i finally managed to learn ch sound

Watched lots of videos, this one is on the next level

Finally the ich tongue placement makes sense!

Danke! Ich lerne vor kurzem Deutsch. I realized that I have not practiced the actual pronunciation much. I do not have anyone to practice with yet. I will follow your channel for help!

Jesus finally a simple explanation. You mate doing a great job. Thanks a lot

Actually most English speakers *do* have the 'ch' sound of 'mich' and 'sprechen'! It's the first sound of words like 'huge' or 'hue'. This is almost universal in British and Australian varieties of English, and quite common in North American speakers as well. The IPA character is [ç]. It's still difficult for English speakers to control in German though, because it's usually only at the beginning words for us. The 'ch' sound of 'machen' or 'doch' isn't found in many dialects of English. Only in Scottish English, as far as I know, and only in place names and loanwords from Scots or Gaelic, like 'loch' or 'machair'.

Excellent training. Love your teaching style.

Extremely useful video! Very straightforward and didactic! Keep it up!

Ich komme immer mal wieder auf eure Videos zurück für neue Deutsch Studenten. Danke euch

Keep going, Sir! You're helping us tons. Subbed ❤️

The best pronunciation teacher. Thank you so much!

I have headache with this "ch" sound few days ago on how to pronounce correctly got it at last and the best explanation so far. 🙂🙂🙂 Tnx Machs gut

Thank you. I have just started German and the soft ch had me stumped but your explanation is really helpful.

Thank youu. This is the easiest instruction to follow! You put it so clearly.

Very helpful ! Thank you!

Thank you very much

I did it! You tricky wizard, how did you teach it so well? All YT videos i've seen before didn't mention the broadening of the tongue. If i'll ever meet you irl, i'll offer you a dinner. Wish you the best, wizard.

Thank you! You helped me to pronounce this sound!

Danke!! This has helped me tremendously!! ❤

As an English speaker trying to perfect my German, I now know how non native English speakers feel trying to pronounce the different "th" sounds in English. The "tsch" sound is the hardest for me.

Vielen Dank. Thank you. Amazing video. Very helpful

I have noticed that lots of Germans pronounce the CH when followed by (A,O,U) like the German R, they seem to roll it (like a gargle) I also sometimes do this, but only when my throat isn't very clear. all other times, I pronounce it like in this video

Danke!

Thank you for this, it is very clear and easy to understand.

Thank you very much for such a clear explanation!

OMG! THIS VIDEO IS A LIFE CHANGER (AKA PRONUNCIATION CHANGER) THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!

I shared this with my classmates very helpful thank you !

Very useful method!!

Thank you 😢ive been struggling so hard to say it

Thanks, man. It works beautifully

Thanks for the explanation. There certainly seem to be some words where it's easy to transition from the preceding sound to the ich sound, and other words where the tongue is previously occupied and has to settle into the ich sound quickly. And it seems to be difficult at the moment for me to avoid having saliva percolate along the edges of the tongue, leaving a bubbling sound that gives the impression that I'm speaking through an ill-fitting retainer or I'm a human Espressomaschine.

Useful

Very clear. Thanks.

Thank you, it is so helpful

Wow, Thank you, you did some effective work right there! You teach sincerely and to see results which is rare in teaching youtube videos that are edited and fun and all but useless. Thank you so much for your work🙏 The first one is kinda easy for Arabs cuz we already have that sound. It is a a smooth transition from ح to خ. The second one however is hard as hell, o my, so confusing.

Beautiful, thky

Vielen Dank. It was so helpful.

Thank you so much it helped me a lot with ich

Dankeschön!

Thanks for the video!

Excellent, cheers brother.

Best video on CH sound!!! And I've watched a bunch! One doubt though, where does the air come from on Ich? The front of my mouth (like in English she) or my lungs like in German Ach)?

I think the ch is a lot like the H at the start of the word huge in English, not exactly but the way I pronounce that H is so close that I can understand that way. just a lot of breath and similar tongue position and that has worked for me, there is a similar sound in French

Vielen dank!

Why am I watching this I‘m german?! Great video though helped out my friend

Thanksss💙

vielen dank

danke sehr

Send you love finally i can say ichhh

It is very difficult

So I decided to learn German with Persian accent. 😐 It's not possible for me to pronounce like a native German, never ever.

The ich sounds a lot like sh the way I've heard native speakers, but not quiet.

Thank you! You’re English sounds a bit Irish!

your pronounce ach is wrong

bad explanation just use the "h" from huge.
