Norwegian pronunciation
Not everybody has the same sounds in their languages as in Norwegian and Norwegian language has some difficult vowel sounds. Sometimes it's even hard to tell the sound difference between some vowels at the beginning. For example, I used to hear "y" and "u" same and pronounce 'kylling' with "u" instead of "y"...can't say I do it correct now. For those who has any problem with pronouncing vowels, I have some simple examples from English words that I hope it will help.
There are nine vowels in Norwegian, pronounced as:
* a- like the 'a' in "far", when both long and short.
* e- long: like the 'ai' in "hair", short: like the 'e' in "sled"
* i- long: like the 'ea' in "ear", short:like the 'i' in "list"
* o- long: like the extended 'oo' sound in "book", short: like the 'o' in "horse"
* u- in most cases more like the ending sound of the 'u' letter in "universe", other cases long: like the 'u' sound in "true", short: like the 'u' in "full" (for norwegian word example )
* y- in both long and short form, most like an 'ee' sound in English.
* æ- although it looks like it should be 'ae', it's actually more like a clipped 'a', as in "hat".
* ø – in both long and short forms, this is like the 'ir' in "third" or 'ea' in "learn.
* å – long: like the 'aw' in "law", short: like the “o” in "pot".
If you need any examples about pronunciation, this website has many sound files.
