Thank you, yours is the most clear and comprehensive video in youtube about Danish vowels. I beg you never take it down. I will be using it to practice every day.
Thing is, most speakers of English don’t pronounce the word put with a normal u sound like that, but more with a schwa or a mix of schwa sound and u sound, though in some accents (more likely in some British English accents) it may be pronounced like a normal u, but in general, u is not pronounced like an actual u like in Spanish etc, so usually there’s a mix of schwa sound in there, even in most o-based and a-based vowels, there is almost always some schwa mix in there, as the schwa and schwa-based sounds (and the half i / half e sound in the word chip) are some of the most used vowel sounds in English - re the å I cannot hear any difference between the o and the å in the actual sound, only the extra breath sound, which is usually not heard when words are pronounced fast and in conversations etc, so I don’t see how these letters could be considered a different sound, unless the å is supposed to be some a-based vowel that’s towards an o sound, or a diphthong like in Swedish, though the other ones are easy, cause y in Danish is basically an yu sound (normal i sound + normal u sound said together fast in one sound, which can be done in a more rounded way or less rounded way, with stronger u or stronger i sound, so there are a few variations of this diphthong sound) which is the ü in German and the u in Norse / Icelandic / Swedish and French and the uu and sometimes the u in Dutch, while ø in Danish is usually pronounced like an eo sound (normal e sound + normal o sound said together fast in one sound) as the ø in Norwegian and Faroese and Norse and the ö in Icelandic and German and Hungarian and the œ in Norse and French etc, so I am actually very used to these sounds, as I’ve been learning all those languages, but, I noticed that in some words in Danish it sounds like the y is actually pronounced like ui or ue instead of iu (maybe in the word ryg? or some other words with ry letter combinations) and the ø is pronounced like an oe instead of eo or something like that, though I cannot remember exactly in which words I heard that and which vowel combinations I actually heard, or it may have even been an y pronounced like an ø, or something like that, but I definitely heard at least one of those letters or both pronounced in a very different way, and the ipa isn’t always correct and doesn’t always show the right sounds, so this can be pretty confusing, so I don’t usually use the ipa, as it doesn’t even seem to have a symbol for the unique vowel sounds from Dutch words like fijn / trein / pijn etc that is right between a normal E sound and a normal A sound, which is the vowel that comes right before the i sound in many or most of the Dutch accents, but it’s listed as a normal e sound tho it’s not a full / normal e sound like the e in bet / better / bed etc, and, the ipa also lists the soft D in Danish as an eth sound ð tho it’s not even a true D sound and is more like a half-L sound / L-based sound, so I don’t think the ipa is accurate enough when it comes to some of these less known sounds that are usually only in one language or in two languages!
Tysm I speak Arabic as my first language I don’t have a problem pronunciation danish letters because we have same pronunciation in my language but the letters are different so when I see a word in Danish it becomes so hard to pronounce because I don’t really get how different letters be pronounced and it gets so confusing for me between Arabic pronunciation and English letters so this helped me so much ty a lot💖
I liked your video and explanation a lot! I started to learn Danish one month ago. Im from Barcelona living in France. And I hope to come to live in Denmark in the next few years. Thank you!
You are very good at this and the lessons are well designed. Unfortunately the many jumpy cuts in the video are disturbing to me. It's almost like flashing lights. I fear I won't be able to use these videos on account of it. :(
Very nice video, especially liked your guide to y. Have a had time to explain it to foreigners some times (native Danish speaker). Laughed a little on you "o" explanation though, sorry :D "Don't make it a diphthong". Very correct, but you said it with a diphthong when presenting it (oU ?? O sound then rising at the end). No worries though, as you proceed to say the words with o correctly :) ! I guess your native tongue is Swedish.
You need more pressure on most of those vowels to sound danish. Sounds more swedish or norwegian to me with the softer more singing version of the letters :)
Hej!how do you say in Danish:my very dear friend i rey appreciate it anyway and thanky you very much for everything you learnt me from the bottom of my heart!

I’m convinced you are a synth. But I really appreciate your videos 👏👏👏 they are helpful! 🙄 Danish confuses me greatly!

I like your videos. Just started learning danish because I have moved here. Your videos are helpful
A very useful video. tak. I hope you keep making more lessons.
As a person whose native language hoards all the Z and has big clusters of consonants (like: bezwzględny) i feel scared of those vowels.
I was looking for thisssss tutorial THANKSSSS A LOTTT ✌️
Excellent video. I have been starting to learn Danish and I found it a fascinating language. Cheers !
Wait, dropping the larynx is a thing? I have no control over this! This is amazing!
I'm a singer, that's how I know this stuff 😂

It doesn't sounds that different from Hungarian. I hope it makes easier for me lol
Thank you for your lectures!

La "y" es la misma "u" francesa, ¿no?
Sí!
No exactamente
If it makes you feel better I didn't even know what a diphthong is. I had to look it up.
