    “Eichhörnchenschwanz” is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced. Does this help you pronounce it?

      Yes, but only because I’m familiar with German. And I’d still mess it up when trying to pronounce it.

        familiar with German

        Exactly. Different languages have different phonology that you have to be familiar with, there is no one way to “spell it like it’s pronounced” (except IPA and even that can be tricky).
