The ö sound is pretty close to the o sound in "worry" (Swedish ö at least), so you could probably get a more defined ö sound if you look at the IPA chart to get an idea what you should be doing with your mouth and try to listen to and imitate a native speaker (from yt or tv-show) over and over again until it's muscle memory. Soon it'll be second nature and won't feel weird or difficult at all.

The får får sentence made me think of all the homonyms in French. Un ver vert va vers un verre vert. = A green worm walks towards a green glass. Ver/vert/verre/vers all pronounced identically sort of like “vair” but with a French “r”.

I really enjoyed this and I don't speak either Danish or Swedish, but I've recently got to recognise the difference in the intonations. So very difficult for any non-speakers to get to grips with.

Not quite though, if you listen carefully. His Scanian (dialect of Swedish) å sound in 'får' is a glide/diphthongized vowel that starts at e (or even i) and glides into å. The Stockholm accent 'å' in 'får' is more like 'få-er' and the r is either rolled or in the ballpark of a softly burred English r.

The main difference is that Norwegian and Swedish are tone accented (not to be confused with tonal languages like Chinese or Thai) languages and Danish is not. That gives Norwegian and Swedish a "singing quality" that Danish lacks. Swedish and Norwegian also have a perculiar of pronoucing the letter "U", which is different from most languages.

For the record, this cute video contrasts a *Southern* Swedish (Skåne) accent vs. Danish and not more standard Swedish pronunciation. Skåne was under Danish rule until the 1600s, so they both share the "German R" made with the uvula and not the standard Swedish R made with the tip of the tongue. (And yes, I agree with other commentators that these two should at least try dating. There was definitely some chemistry going on ...)

All of the north germanic languages sound so much like joyful singing to me. It's fascinating because Denmark is the most southern scandinavian country stuck to Germany and the texture(intonation?) of danish(germanic language) is completely different from German(also germanic languages). And that kind of textural difference is,for me,also the beauty.

I would say the intonation in Swedish is different and the Danish is a bit similar to German. Danish doesn’t have the JUMP up and down like Swedish.

I love these, they are so interesting. Half of the time with Danish I wonder if they even say separate words at all. I live closeby an area in the Netherlands where they already slur their words and I started doing it a bit too to the point where family from across the country are even wondering what I'm saying, but this is beyond. Even from a West-Germanic (Dutch) perspective I either understand words, recognize them or they just make sense anyway (they are related to a word I know with a slightly different meaning). I'm a happy person right now. ;-)

I saw some fighting about the specifics of tha languages and specific dialects so ... 1. He's from Skåne where there's more Danish influence due to the dialectical continuum in Scandinavia and they don't really do the Rs like most Swedes or Norwegians. 2. Yes, danish and swedish are descended from the same language. Proto-Norse became old Norse which split into West Norse (norway, Iceland, faroe islands) and East Norse (danish and swedish) and old gutnish (gotland, now part of Sweden). 3. Each country and language has their own sub-dialects and are further influenced by historic events like Norwegian and Danish. 4. Standardization of languages affected some things like Danish with the standard coming from Copenhagen. Danish was heavily influenced by German and is still considered a protected minority language in a border area in Germany. That's like where that lovely rolled R fell away in Danish and about 40% of the language obtained German words. Bonus. Old forms of French used to roll their Rs and sound a little more germanic or rural Spanish depending on the region. I have no idea where the guttural R originated but there are tons of funny stories about it in both french and german. I'm old cajun french, danish and swedish so I like to study up on this histories of the languages and my old french can sound more "North Germanic/Spanish" which I enjoy compared to modern French. Thanks and apologies for the long comment.

I'm learning swedish and I'm being taught to roll the "r" with the tongue instead of the guttural French way of doing it. I notice that the Swede here pronounces "r" close to the French way.

On the other hand, the region of Skåne/Scania used to be Danish territory, so the way they speak is similar to Danish (using the back of the mouth) as opposed to how they speak in other parts of Sweden.

That is so weird. Is it an island thing, cause in Norway, the dialects change quite rapidly, probably due to the difficulty in the past to visit each other due to the mountains.

I find "att få", which primarily means "to get", one of the trickier verbs for English speakers. In English, when bearing offspring one does not "get" children, but rather "has" them, but in Swedish it's "får barn" not "har barn". In English we might say "I shall see" if something will happen, but in Swedish it is not "Jag skall se" but rather "Jag får se". And when handing an item to somebody in English we might say "here you go" or "here you are", the Swedes say "här får du". Confessing my rookie mistakes...
