First of all. In Swedish we have 3 extra letters. Å Ä and Ö. I think you can make ä and ö by first using ¨ and then a or o...making å is a problem though...
Anyway Å is pronounced as o in fork.
Ä is pronounced as a in any
and Ö is pronounced as i in girl.

Nope the letter j is almost always pronounced as y in young. YOu pronounce hej as hey...
I is always pronounces like i in in (strange sentence...lol)
NEVER like in ice.
K can be pronounced like c in camel and sh in shop.
it's hard to explain pronounciations..(sp?)
if you all like i'll try to write how the words should be pronounced too |

If you could that'd be excellent, as I don't have much use for just written Swedish.
Thanks though, great class - I don't mean to seem ungrateful! |
