Whenever you see tsch in a German word, pronounce it exactly like the "ch" sound in English words like "chair" or "match".
Tip
You already know this sound! It's just spelled differently in German. Think of "ch" in English or the Hindi sound in words like "chaalis" or "chai". Same sound, different spelling.
