Learning hint:

          Acquiring a good German accent is about more than knowing the alphabet, it’s very important to say words and phrases out loud on a regular basis. Listen as often as you can to the characters in German Steps and make a concentrated effort to imitate them closely.

In English, to clarify a word's pronunciation and spelling, it says "B for Ball". But in German they use names to spell and those names are fixed.
