  1. Type the word into the box that is labeled "German" and click "speak"

    I found this site. It's extremely helpful with giving pronunciation of  any German words that you type in.

    The site gives 10 free trials but there is a way to use the pronunciation aid infinitely without paying. First you see two boxes on top, one for typing in English to be translate into German and one for typing in German. DON'T USE THE BOX ON THE LEFT! If you want to know what a German word sound like, just type the word directly into the box on the right and click "speak: or "slowly" That way, your trial will never expire.

    Good Luck


  2. hi there!

    gut: pronounce it just like the english word "good" only with a "T" at the end.

    tschüs (also tschüss) : "tsch" like the beginning of "jungle"

    Ü: thats quite hard to describe. you can try to pronounce it like

    "eew" the sound you make when you find something disgusting.

      

    BUT: those words in that combination "gut tschüss"

    are completely senseless.

    please post what you want to say......

  3. I think Alibaba has a very good explanation and phonetic way to say it.

    A good way to hear it is by going to this site and you can type the words in and it will play them back to you with voice by animation. Its kinda cool.

    Have fun with it you will really get a good idea how it sounds!!

  4. "goot-chuess". Be sure to pronounce the second word in one syllable, rather than breaking it into to segments, "chu-ess". Understand the sound that the "ü" makes auf Deutsch.

  5. Gut is pronounced in almost the same way as Amerian "Good"with just "T" instead of "D" in the end.

    So you could say "Goot"

    The other part, the word "Tschus" contains a letter so called "U-umlaut" which is close to saying long "eeu"

    "Tsch" will be pronounced as American "CH" and the u-umlaut "eeuu" "S" is the same as in english pronounciation.

    So all together it will be:

    "Ch-eeuus"

  6. goot tchoos

  7. Well, the phonetics are covered by all the other answers, I'd say. However, I just wanted to ask if this is by chance an automatic translation from something like "babelfish". It looks like a word-for-word-translation of "good bye" to me, with the only problem being that nobody in Germany says "gut tschüß". Not a big problem for you, though, as Germans usually just say "tschüß", and thanks to all the others, you know how to pronounce that, and you don't really need to remember how to pronounce that second word.
