Hey guys,
I'm in the process of learning German, but I am having some diffuculty with the "ch" sound.
When the "ch" is preceeded by "e", "i", "ä", "ö" or "ü" I pronounce it like the "h" in the English name Hugh.
However, how is the "ch" pronounced when preceeded by "a", "o", or "u"?
Also, how would one pronounce the "ch" in words like "Brötchen" and "Hähnchen", which are not directly preceeded by any vowel? I assume that one would pronounce the "ch" in these words like the "h" in Hugh as well?
