    German is my native language , so yes. It sounds a lot different from what you might think if you can’t speak “ch”. But if you’re American…

        Back of the throat. Like the the J in Juan. Except in German, it always comes at the end of a word/syllable. If it’s at the beginning, it is pronounced like a k (as in Christ/Christian/etc.)
