Postgrad Study

The most famous parody of Swedish accent is probably the Swedish Chef on The Muppet Show, but also, more recently, a drawing program on the Catherine Tate call interpreter. What both these parodies have been collected, is at the chant of Sweden, and also the fact that the Swedish language is relatively rich in vowels. Pronunciation of these vowels can be challenging when you are learning Swedish. This article goes through all the members of Sweden and gives some tips on how to pronounce, according with the Swedish alphabet.

A
The thing I remember is that A is very long. For those who speak English, usually helps to make the same sound By saying "r" of the letter in English, but to remove the "r" sound "at the end and just keep the long 'ah'. Another way you can view the sound you have to do if a doctor examines the mouth and throat. The doctor will usually put a spatula on the tongue, and asked to say 'ah'. Finally, is important to remember to drop the jaw properly, which makes him a deep and long term.

E
This vowel can be difficult because an English speaker, the natural instinct is to treat it as "ee" English (such as in 'bee'). But the Swedish and worse, and ends with a slight A sound at the last moment (at least the accents found around Stockholm and Uppsala in the east coast). The best way to find the right sound, ie 'heard' the English word, but to remove the "R" sound "at the end: 'ea'.

I
This vocal unfortunately adds another layer to the confusion surrounding the Swedish vocal E. This is due to the Swedish pronunciation of the letter is like "ee" English. In other words, a broad smile and "ee" sound. " The only consolation is that Swedish speakers have exactly the same problem in learning English around the other way!

O
The letter O can be difficult to pronounce, because it is a bit more extreme than the English "oh" sound ". The 'oh-sound" in English requires quite relaxed lips, and tongue relaxed. Swedish O requires a very tight mouth and lips hard pressed as when they're whistling a tune, or sucking on a straw. The tongue is pulled back into the throat, as it does if you eat something that is too hot and you try to protect their language.

U
This is perhaps the most difficult to explain, of all Swedish vowels. When you say that the vowel U, lips should be relaxed, the tongue touching the bottom row of front teeth, and jaw should be slightly forward. Sounds a bit like the expression of disgust "Warrant" but rather as the end of the first.

Y
The vocal and tend to be difficult to do well, but I found a way to describe appears to be useful. First, tell me that the Swedish (or "ee" English) and analyze what the language is doing. Second, maintaining this position of the tongue perfectly still, but move the lips of a smile to a trumpet-shaped (ie, pushing the lips forward, very aggressive). So when goes from I to S, tongue position must be exactly the same, and all that is changing his lips - from an wide smile, a trumpet-shaped.

à ...
Here is the first of three extra Swedish vowels (which come at the end of the alphabet, of course, in this order: ¥ Ã,  ¤ à ¶). The challenge is to distinguish them as truly independent voice, not just confusing versions of A and O. The à ... can be thought of as the sound the 'au' in 'Paul'. Indeed, some Swedish Pauls actually spell their names Pà ¥ l The sound is long, as in a long 'Pa ¥ à ¥ l '.

à "
This letter can be considered as 'ai' English in the 'par', or 'hair'. The only thing to remember is that the mouth is quite wide, a little more than a smile that said 'pair'.

Ã-
Finally, the A-is similar to the English sound 'i' in 'bird' of the word. O 'u' in 'skin' word. O 'ea' in 'listen' to the word. The lips are very rounded, but also slightly trumpet-shaped.

And Finally, the graduation exam is totally dominating the tornado following Swedish: Flug flyg Flyg Fula, Fulbe flug ¶ den och fla g (Fly fly ugly, ugly fly flew).

That's it - good luck!
