How do you pronounce the letter Y?
The /y/ is close to /i/ (long e) in American English pronunciation. Some non-native English speakers accidentally use a j sound or zh sound in place of /y/ in English words. Students working on accent reduction should make the /y/ a smooth and consistent sound without friction during its production.

What is ß called in English?
The letter ß (also known as sharp S, German: Eszett or scharfes S) is a letter in the German alphabet. It is the only German letter that is not part of the basic Latin alphabet. The letter is pronounced [s] (like the “s” in “see”) and is not used in any other language.
Why is J pronounced as Y?
Originally, “j” was another way of writing “i”; it was an “i” with a hook. The letter “y” is also a variant on “i”; it was known as “i Graeca” (“Greek i”) in Latin (and is still “i griega” in Spanish). So really, pronouncing “j” and “y” the same is pretty close to the original form.

Is ß the same as SS?
In German, the ß character is called eszett. It’s used in “Straße,” the word for street, and in the expletive “Scheiße.” It’s often transliterated as “ss,” and strangely enough, it’s never had an official uppercase counterpart. When writing the uppercase [of ß], write SS. It’s also possible to use the uppercase ẞ.
How is Ö pronounced?
To pronounce the ö-sound, say “ay” as in day (or as in the German word See). While continuing to make this sound, tightly round your lips. Look in a mirror to make sure your lips are actually rounded. Voilà!
