Answer Question
Why do the speakers in German 1 use an "sh" sound when pronouncing "mochte," "mochten" etc?
In Session 1.4 the rule is given that after a, o, u, and au "ch" has a guttral sound (as in auch), not an "sh" sound like ch after e, i, ei, or a consonant. But in both the tutorials and workouts the speakers consistently pronounce "mochte" and "mochten" with an sh sound, which seems to violate the rule. Help!
