The Swedish vowel Å is a tricky one!
Part of the Swedish Å Ä Ö family of special Swedish vowels.
First tip: Don't mix up the Swedish Å with A!
The Swedish language (mostly vowels) has its own letters and Å is one of them. Today we are diving deep into how to pronounce it, and the dangers of mixing it up with the A.

I love your sense of humor. Showing a gray screen and playing sad violin music during the discussion of exceptions is a nice touch. 😄

I have a very hard time with å. Not mixing it up with a, but mixing it up with the short o. Maybe if you are able in future, a video contrasting the two? Maybe it is just my particular accent that makes it hard for me!

Is it based on the number of consonants that follow in the whole word or in the syllable? So if the å is followed by one consonant in the syllable, but another one in a later syllable, what rule does it follow? This was super helpful, since I didn't know why the å sounds different in each word!

@FunSwedish 3 жыл бұрын

It is only affected by the consonants that come immediately after it. Happy to hear it was helpful! 😍

Hej, why I heard å sometimes like ua and sometimes like o(like English pronunciation)?

@FunSwedish Жыл бұрын

That is probably the short sound of the Å. When it is followed by 2 consonants 😊

@lonelydecember7207 3 жыл бұрын

Why does it sound like there's a "J" sound between the letter K and vowels? for example in the word 'Åka', it sounds like 'Åkja'. do you have a video about it?

@klmrk9961 2 жыл бұрын

Well it doesn't sound like that. Probably because she is over emphasising it a bit. It's pronounced Åååk-AH
