Answer 2

Pronunciation of z: tzet, if you are saying the name of the letter itself. In a word, it sounds like the English ss.

===================================

The German z sounds like the English ts (as in its, thats), e.g

Zeppelin - prounounced tseppaleen

Zebra - tsay'brah

Stolz - Shtollts (proud)

Answer 3

It really depends on the word or phrase you're trying to translate; letters are pronounced differently depending on their placement in a word. For example, the 'e' in the word 'liebe' is pronounced 'uh', while the 'e' in 'dem' is pronounced 'ay'.

Answer 4

I'm going to assume you're talking about the German letter ß (sharfes s, s-zett = Engl. sharp s) as used in such words as gemäß, Fuß, Maß, mäßig and not the letter B.

The sharp s (ß) is actually soft and is pronounced as in soft, sleep, sofa.

Answer 5

The Germans write their alphabet listing first the latin letters, followed at the end, by the German letters. The German alphabet contains 29 Uppercase letters and 30lowercase letters. The letter ß (s-zett or sharp s) is only written in lowercase letters, e.g. Schoß (lap). In uppercase the word would be written SCHOSS.

The remaining "German" letters are prononuced as follows:
