Answer:

The german alphabet is very similar to the english alphabet, with a few exceptions. For example, every vowel except for e has an "umlaut" version with two dots above it. We also have an esstsett, which is pronounced like an s.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few other tips I can offer. First, remember that the sentence structure is more flexible than english. Also, many german words are similar or the same as english words (der moment, das Problem, relativ).
