How do you pronounce letter with two dots?

You're likely referring to the umlaut, which is a pair of dots placed over a vowel in German and other languages. It changes the sound of the vowel.

Here's how you pronounce the umlaut depending on the vowel:

* ä (a with umlaut): Pronounced like the "a" in "cat" or "father"

* ö (o with umlaut): Pronounced like the "e" in "bed" or "met"

* ü (u with umlaut): Pronounced like the "oo" in "moon" or "food"

Examples:

* Äpfel (apples): Pronounced like "ahp-fel"

* Möhre (carrot): Pronounced like "mure"

* Mütter (mothers): Pronounced like "muter"
