Learning German Alphabet is very simple. It has the same 26 English Alphabet letters (A,B,C,D........X,Y,Z). However, there are four additional letters like: ä (ah umlaut), ö (oh umlaut), ü (uh,oo umlaut) and ß (etsett). At the place of ß you can also write ss. Like other Alphabets these extra letters (ä,ö,ü) can be written short and long.
