Ein Horrorbuchstabe für jeden Deutschlerner, obwohl dieser Buchstabe ein Lebensretter ist. In der modernen deutschen Sprache wird das „ä" meistens mit einem „e“ ersetzt. Doch es gibt manche Wörter, die eine richtige Betonung erfordern:

Zum Beispiel:
Ehre = engl: Honor
Ähre = engl: ear of wheat

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena lebte in einem älteren Häuschen am Rande eines märchenhaften Tals. Jeden Morgen zählte sie die Vögel, die auf den Ästen der Bäume saßen. Eines Tages bemerkte sie, dass ein Käfig fehlte, den sie draußen stehen gelassen hatte. „Wer mag den Käfig genommen haben?“ fragte sie sich.

Plötzlich hörte sie ein seltsames Geräusch hinterm Fenster. Ein Kätzchen spielte mit einem Bändel, der am Käfig hing. Lena lächelte, nahm das Tierchen sanft auf und brachte es ins Häuschen. Nun teilte sie ihre Mahlzeiten nicht nur mit Vögeln, sondern auch mit dem kleinen, frechen Kätzchen.
