What is the correct pronunciation in German? Hello! Hallo! I am learning Deutsch and I have some misunderstanding about pronunciation. Could you please tell me if 'er' and the last letter 'e' from the Germanic word lerne (e.g Ich lerne Deutsch) are pronounced as /ea/ and /ə/ ( English schwa) or /ea/ and /e/, I mean /leanə/ or /leane/?...but what about ihr? Is it pronounced /iə/? Thank you very much! Danke vielmals!
