Are you kidding? The R is the easiest sound in Swedish. Try the SJ sound or the retroflexive consonents RT or RD as in KORT or BORD. Also the RG in Borg. This so called teacher is picking the easiest sounds,I learned Swedish in Sweden it was challenging. Don't forget the tones. Dont pronounce I like a girl.

There are some similarities as in the etymology of the word decides how it's spelled. Any Swedish word with as sh-sound can be spelled Ch, c, sch, sh, g, and maybe something else that I've forgotten. The sh- and Ch-words are usually integrated loanwords from English, just as such are from German loan words

Thank you for explaining the “i” sound that I thought I had to master. For two years it has been driving me crazy. I have tried to make this sound and get stressed and angry with myself over it. As if sju wasn’t enough! ;-) which I think I’ve managed now. It makes so much sense the way you explain it, in English it would be like a cockney suddenly mixing in the way our Queen speaks, which would be ridiculous and totally out of place. That’s an extreme example to illustrate the point. I have grown to really dislike that “I” sound now. But I love Swedish, for me it’s the most lovely language. Tack så mycket, Joakim.

Hey Joakim! I'm a German who visited Sweden 3 times already. I think you are very kind people and I'm fascinated in your language. So I decided to start learning Swedish and hope do be able to communicate in Swedish when visiting Sweden next time. I'm very glad you made this video, due to the fact that pronunciation feels like the hardest thing to learn for me. Being able to speak German (as my native language), English and having learned Latin in school, grammar and many words aren't that difficult to learn. Structure of sentences is very similar to German and I guess grammar is easier in Swedish. When it comes to pronunciation it is more difficult. In Swedish you don't pronounce every syllable written while German is very precise about that. Tack och hejdå!

Hey, great video. I have a question about the letter "R". At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="899">14:59</a> you said that Swedish people do not pronounce it like very roaring R, and rather soften it a bit, adding a bit of a "zh". I would like to know whether I will sound completely weird if I don't soften it and really use hard "R"? It's just because my native language is Russian, and for Russians it is common to use this unsoftened "R", and I kinda know that Spanish people have pretty much similar rough "R". It is hard for me to soften the "R" and add a slight "zh" to it. So will I sound strange if I don't do that?

You're as good as this one Swede called GoSwedish! Sadly, GoSwedish closed her account, though I don't know why the hell she did. Nice to have another Swede to help me learn Swedish! Thanks a lot, dude!

I’m Swedish and really enjoyed this movie. Haven’t really thought of all these tricky sounds since I’m native. Tricky for a foreigner 🤔

The ordinary Swede is usually clueless about their own language. It's great of you to learn more about this!

Hej, Joakim- ‘bra’ crash course! Tack- and wanted to assure you that your pronunciation of ‘pronunciation’ is fine actually in English as either sound is used unless you are worried about the proper London BBC announcer accent but that is only a small demographic for that and pretty much not emphasized anywhere else out of London

French here, just some thoughts about kör (the one meaning choir), in french it is called a "chœur" (from the word chorale) which is pronounced the exact same way. Do not confuse it with "cœur", meaning "heart" and also pronounced the same. Well.... Hejdå I guess ?

I remember when I learned to say sju. My gf was so excited that I could pronounce it. She said even the Norwegians couldn't do it. I could pronounce her name: Gunnel. And thirty years later, I can still do that, but I could not carry a conversation lol.

the vowel quality thing is confusing to me because in my native language, dutch, we also have vowel quality, but the "dark" vowels are the ones that are short, as opposed to swedish in which case they are the long vowels

As a German the swedish A and Ä are tricky for me. The german Ä and swedish Ä are not quite the same and your swedish A sounds like a mix of A and O to me. Also the Å… whenever I see it my mind automatically makes a german A out of it, them I‘m like „oh no, the swedish A is like a mix of A and O (or just the english word „awe“)“ and THEN I‘m like „oh WAIT this is Å not A, damnit!“😂 And then I read O and have to say „U“, I read U and have to say „Ü“… understanding what is written is easy but saying it out loud is so tricky sometimes😄

I think, as a German, it's easier to learn the Swedish pronounciation, because we already know sounds like "ä" or "ö" and we pronounce the "e" and "i" similar xD Whereas I keep struggeling with the "r" sound
@garyfrancis6193 4 ай бұрын
The letter A has three sounds in English as does I and O. These are the diphthongized vowels.

How about "kanske"? Why sometimes I hear "kan-hweh" and sometimes "kan-sheh"? Like in "Det kanske inte är så farligt" is with "sheh" and in "Det bäste kanske inte hänt än" is "hweh"
@sayitinswedish 4 жыл бұрын
Firstly, the sj sound can be pronounced as tj in a bunch of dialects. Second, "kanske" is a weird word since it doesn't follow word order rules. I also pronounce the word in both ways, totally at random but I think I'm leaning towards "kanhweh" here ;)

@Mikael E You can put it pretty much anywhere. It's just an adverb. You're right, it means 'can happen' or 'may happen' - there is a synonym 'kanhända' which means the same thing.
@dodatroda 3 жыл бұрын
Both are valid. The latter is very common, it's a lazy minimum-effort exhalation sound that is easier than the 'sh'. It's how everyone says 'sju' (seven), 'shu' sounds posh.
