Norwegian pronunciation guide

Hear voice clips recorded by me and learn the (somewhat) proper pronunciation of Norwegian.

*This section is under construction; please bear with me as I work on it!*

Vowels
 
The Norwegian vowels are: a, i, e, o, u, y, å, æ, and ø. They can be either long or short depending on the location and consonants around them. I will provide both long and short vowel clips with practice words as well.
 
Long A - like the 'a' in 'fAther'  (far, har)
Short A - similar to the 'u' in 'cUt' (natt, katt)
 
Long I - like the 'ee' in 'mEEt', but more open (blir, tidlig)
Short I - shorter than the 'ee' in 'mEEt' (litt, blitt)

Long A

Short A

Consonants
 
Norwegian consonants shouldn't provide too much difficulty. Again, I will get voice clips up ASAP so that you can hear them. Bear with me for now, though!

Norwegian is awesome. Hail Norway \m/
