Is the German Alphabet Different?
One of the first questions parents ask is whether the German alphabet is different from the English alphabet.
The answer is yes, but only slightly.
German uses the same Latin alphabet as English, so children will already recognize most of the letters. However, German also includes four special letters: Ä, Ö, Ü, and ß (called the Eszett or sharp S).
If you’re ready to practice writing the alphabet, my German Alphabet Worksheets for Kids are the perfect next step after these coloring pages.
These additional letters appear in many everyday German words, but they aren’t part of the standard A–Z sequence. That’s why these printable worksheets focus on the basic alphabet first. Once children feel comfortable with the letters of the German alphabet, they’ll be ready to learn the additional letters and their unique pronunciation.
Starting with the basics gives young learners a strong foundation for reading, writing, and speaking German with confidence.
