My favourite is the RS combination, where the technique of an S is moved to the position of the R, producing a sound not dissimilar to water coming out of a tap. The latter is produced in front of the RS sound, being slightly thinner in quality. Many consonant sounds come in pairs. These are produced at the same place with almost identical techniques, with the difference of the former creating a vibration in your voice box.
First of all, the Z sound does not exist in Swedish. This is also noticeable when Swedes speak English, as they may not distinguish between ice and eyes, peace and peas, poisson and poison in French. Very few words, but a few names, are written with a Z - but they are all pronounced voiceless - S. Many of you will also automatically and unconsciously produced a voiced Z sound between two vowels, in words such as.
Another interesting aspect of the voiced and voiceless sounds is that they tend to influence each other. In fact, it is very difficult to produce a voiceless consonant preceding a voiced consonant, or vice versa. Double K is spelled ck, not kk. Double consonants also affect pronunciation. This makes the identification of each original individual word difficult for foreign learners, which in turn affects pronunciation. People photo created by lookstudio — www.
Agneta, one of our native Swedish tutors, recommends this technique as she has seen it work very well for her students. Articulating a word after hearing it is the best way to improve your Swedish pronunciation and getting it closer to that of a native speaker. If you like learning with music, you can listen to our Swedish playlist on Spotify and sing along to some of the best songs in this language.
Tip: Find the Swedish translation of your favourite book, write down an extract from it, and record yourself reading it out loud. Watching Swedish movies in their original language is a fun, enriching way of getting hours of exposure to Swedish accents.

Lmao as a Swedish speaker, Norwegian sounds so weird to me. Obviously it's just conjecture, as no one who was around at the time is still with us. This is its most noticeable quality for me, especially the Stockholm accent.
It literally just sounds like german to me but less "itsch" sounds. To me, It sounds like speaking English while your tongue is numb and you can barely move it. Bouncy and crisp. Before learning Norwegian: Bouncy. Since learning Norwegian: Distorted Norwegian.
