Easy German look like English words

So many words in German look almost the same and sound almost the same. 

 A-D als - all besser - better E-K Eis - ice or ice cream Fische - fish (remember capital letters for nouns in German, but not in English) Ich - I ist - is garten - garden Haus - house Hund - hound/dog kann - can katze - cat Klub - club 

 L-R leichter - lighter (pronounce the second vowel, ignoring the e, like George) mein/ meine - mine Muss - a must (the capital letter tells you it's a noun and not a verb) nasen - nose p f e f f e r - pepper 

 S-Z s a l z - salt as in S a l z burg t o c h t e r - daughter Zoo - zoo
