Put these diagnostic checks in a helpful order for inferring vowel length when you meet an unfamiliar German word.

  • Check whether the word contains “ie” (strong cue for long /iː/).

  • If there is an “h”, decide whether it is lengthening (after a vowel) or pronounced (at the start of a syllable).

  • Check whether the vowel is followed by a double consonant or by ck/tz (often short-vowel signals).

  • If no strong cues appear, make a cautious default guess (often short for single-vowel spellings) and stay ready to revise when you learn the word.
