The spelling of the word "Schroeden" may seem confusing to some. However, with the use of IPA phonetic transcription, it becomes clear that the correct spelling is actually "Schröden". The umlaut (¨) above the letter "o" indicates a different sound, changing it from the regular "oh" to a more closed, rounded vowel sound. The "d" at the end of the word is pronounced with a soft "t" sound due to the following "e" in the word. Therefore, the correct spelling with IPA would be /ˈʃɹødən/.
