Hello everyone,

I've been asked by a Japanese client for guidance on pronouncing a German word, "Kurzarbeit".

Does anyone know of any online Japanese/German resources that have a good pronunciation guide, or anything else that might help? I'd like to send in some links or information when I return the project tomorrow.

My German is very basic and I certainly wouldn't want to give anyone pronunciation advice. ^_^;

Many thanks in advance

If you google by entering "ドイツ語の発音", you'll get about 156,000 hits.

P.S. Maybe you know this already, but "Kurzarbeit" is pronounced クルツアルバイトin German. ▲ Collapse

Thank you! Apr 13, 2010

Hello Yasutomo,

Thank you very much for your reply and the links! I hadn't thought of searching on ドイツ語の発音 but of course, that makes perfect sense.

Many thanks
Arline
