Swedish extra letters *

[Lisa Barnes]

How do you pronounce them? For instance I have a Brita Bång in my family is it a Bång pronounced with a  a or ah or is it all together different? Please help!
Thank you

[Stig Hansson]

Hi Lisa
You pronounce it exactly as in the english word long.

Well Lisa, it is not so easy, but if we talking american English, this maight be a help:
Å = like a in raw
 
Ä = like the first A in Sarah  
 
ö = like u in urgent
 
This in nit completly correct, but just about and a try to help, Ä might be most diffecult to explain.
Hope this get you a hint about it,
Regards,
Calle
