I'm just starting out with Norwegian and have found them extremely helpful and very well organised! :)[/quote] You are welcome, I am going to add a couple additional phonetic ways you may hear a letter of the alphabet spoken. Norway has lots of dialect variations so you may also see [b]h[/b] /HAW/ [b]j[/b] /YOHD/ [b]k[/b] /KAW/ [b]å[/b] /AW/ Also, if you have trouble with [b]r[/b] /AER/ then just think of the Enlgish word AIR and you will get the AE vowel pronounced well. | |
