Swedish vowels a o u å e i y ä ö - 10 Swedish Words

Your videos helped me a lot as a non-swedish user. I've visited Sweden two times, I just fell in love with everything, especially the language. When I miss it, I watch your videos to hear again the beautiful accent of your country.Thank you very much and keep up the good work! Oana from Romania

I am enjoying all of your videos, having just discovered them tonight. I lived in Sweden from 1966-1968. I tried to learn the language and the culture as best I could, but I keep learning and learning all these years later. I used to think I spoke very good Swedish, but hearing you and other native speakers, I have a long way to go. I think Swedish is very difficult to speak correctly, but a very beautiful language. I like the discussion of Swedish vowels and how you compare the long and short vowels using similar words. You sound a little Skånsk, but you said you were from Karlskrona. I'll have to listen more. My morfar came to America from Sweden. He was from the Landskrona area, so maybe I should learn the accent.

I am an American in Sweden. And as such, I propose that there are only 5 vowels (vokaler) in Swedish. E, I och Y all sound the same, so they are one. O, Å och U (då o då) also sound the same, 2. A and Ä both sound like the American A in different circumstances, but we'll go ahead and call them 3 and 4. And Ö (5) is in a field all its own. Öl is pronounced Earl. Just ask my family and friends! These videos are great! Jag är väldigt glad att jag hittade dem! Du är grym! ;)

Those 10 words videos are so helpful I have been living in Sweden for almost 2 years, and I still discover new words here. Thanks!!

I moved fr sthlm to norhern ireland, small town Derry, and I love watching this. You are helping me explaining some words easier to the people here. Keep on!

this is a great reference. Sometimes I doubt when to use the different sounds, and this is perfect. Tack så jättemycket martin!

that instasmile after every example-phrase makes my day

THANKS A LOT..... SVEN. im starting to learn swedish just now and your videos will surely be of a BIG help.

This is probably gonna sound rude, but I think it would be good if you pointed out that you speak skånska, a specific southern Swedish dialect, and that the majority of Swedes do not sound like this.

great video, thanks! congrats on launching the website!!

Oh my God, I'm trying sooooo hard to get this down. It's very difficult when you are raised speaking American English, but people like you, Swedish Lad, help so much! Thanks for making all these videos. Best regards from Maine!

I love when people pronounce english words with swedish accent. Most swedish people actually don't do it very often since they are able to talk in decent english mostly but sometimes it happens. Also to him, i noticed. Like when he says "i see it," refering to his twitter accent. I think it Sounds cool ^^

thx!! Its really helpful

It's so difficult to learn Swedish because every dialect pronounces things differently. But I'm determined to learn Swedish! It makes sense considering that I'm moving to Sweden next year! Yay!

Vad glad jag blir att höra!!! Woop!!

You make learning so much fun!

As a swede, I wonder why I'm watching this

I think you're just marvelous!

Thank you!!

That video really helped me a lot! tack sa mycket!!!!!
