Swedish pronounciation (sorry for spelling if it's incorrect) is a lot different from especially american english. English is more monotone than swedish, which is why many thinks it sounds like we sing. maybe that's why people are having trouble with it.
It's always hard to speak words that you don't know the meaning of. If he'd seen it written, then heard it, he would probably have done a better job. Danish is even worse :)
@lolander54 I'm from Sweden and really the reason to why americans or english people overall can't really pronounce the swedish language is because when we speak we have a special 'melody'; in some countries they even think that it sounds like we're singing when really we're just talking.
@lolander54 Swedish uses many different facial muscles and throat muscles than English or other languages. English to many other languages is difficult because they are spoken faster and use more throat sounds. English is very defined and pronounced. I have friends who know 4 - 6 languages because they started off knowing a language that used similar pronunciation muscles which makes it easier from the start. Oh and Volvo rules!!
@Flumong Jaja förstår att de är svårt att byta språk så men om du tänker såhär: Kinesiska är inte likt amerikanska.... 'Men när amerikaner pratar svenska så låter de som Kineser
Haha Swedish is a really har language to learn if you're american, I used to work with a guy from michigan, 11 years he has lived here.. Still not speaking Swedish fluently.
@PatrikLarssonRang P.S. "11 years he has lived here.." is a really strange way of phrasing that. "He has lived here for 11 years" is what you should say if you don't want to sound like someone who died 400 years ago. Any native speaker would know that. You guys aren't near as good at English as you think you are.
@PatrikLarssonRang That doesn't prove that it's hard for Americans. That just proves that there's really no need to learn Swedish if you're an Anglophone because everyone in Sweden speaks English and even if you wanted to learn it that would make it difficult. Also it's well known that learning languages gets more difficult as you get older. If he were 3 years old and moved to Sweden with his parents, his Swedish would sound completely native.
i'm polish and i'm gonna to study swedish, but now, i don't know even a word in this language :D it's so hard to say, but sounds beautiful! i tried to say this sentence, and i think i made this even good :D and... jesus... i still dunno what means "nyheter är coolt"??

@Fischface97 Lär dig då att DOM inte finns i Svensk grammatik... Det är ungdomar som går till det fonetiska. DE är personer, De är hungriga. DEM är för saker etc, De åt dem goda nudlarna. Bra, nu vet du.
@Fischface97 Och om du nu är så stolt över din Engelska, översätt dessa meningar; ''His features were perforce frozen in a calcaerous grin''. ''The consecrated ones, is no inoculation against evil'', detta är lite halv avancerad Engelska, lycka till att översätta utan hjälp av google =)
@Fischface97 OMG är minst lika gammalt som lol så varför slutar inte du med det då? Tycker inte man behöver sluta använda ord/förkortningar bara för att de är gamla, men vad vet jag, du verkar ju vara ett underbarn.
