Swedish Numbers 1-20

Hei! Jag räkna till tjugo på Svenska. Please feel free to comment and correct anything to improve my pronunciation. (: I've never taken a course, just a bit of self-study.

I'm aware my pronunciation of 20 wasn't very good.. ):

The symbols within the square brackets [ ] is the pronunciation as indicated by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It's a standarized system of phonetic notation that linguists use, associating one sound with one graph (letter). Once you know the IPA, you should be able to pronounce any sound in any language!

I'd be happy to explain any of the symbols. Information is also available on the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipa

Part 2 : - compressed vowels you could say that protruded means a form of labialization this is true for ʏ as well.

r tends to lower most vowels(especialy where I live) when the vowel preceds it. And oh yeah ɵ and ʊ is also compressed. If you already know this very well then I am sorry for typing all of this info. Just wanted to give some tips since many people so have problem with Swedish vowels but if you already knew maybe some esle might have use of what I wrote.

Thanks, this is great! (:

I don't know too much about Swedish, really. Just basic pronunciation.

I think the vowels are very tricky, and I would love to see you make a video about these pronunciations. I particularly like the [ʉ], I think it's somewhat similar to the Southern Californian /u/, cause it's very fronted..

Part 1: Was just checking here again and though I can give some commentary that might be of use if your learning Swedish(or maybe you already know this)

r plus an dental/avelor consonant tend to asmeliate to there retroflex counterparts in most diealects today how ever there are exeption to this. Some rounded vowels like ʉ u tends to be extra compressed example of compression can be found in Japanese u. y is for the most protruded that is the lips are pouted out instead of shut as in
