ArchivesRe: This form of Michael also in Germany?
in reply to a message by Lucille
Hi Lucille,
The German spelling is Michael. There's no ë in the German alphabet. The pronunciation is MEE-chah-ell or MEE-chah-ale.
Three syllables and the stress is on the first syllable.
You can listen to the ch-sound in the second syllable here:

Choose "consonants, ch / chs / ck" on the left and then listen to the words
Blech - Stich - Bäche - möchte etc.
Regards, Satu
