Why German names look harder than they sound
- W is a ‘v’ and V is an ‘f’ — Wirtz → VEERTS.
- Ü has no English match; Americans land on ‘oo’ — Rüdiger → ROO-dih-ger, Müller → MOO-ler.
- -ch is a throaty sound English lacks, so we approximate it with ‘k’.
- J is a ‘y’ and -ei- is the long-i ‘ahy’ — Leimer → LAHY-mer.
