Guide to Swedish Pronunaiation

This chapter is intended especially for the student who is learning Swedish on his or her own. The accompanying tape is an integral part of this Unit, and henae must be used in aonjunation with the following pages. We have avoided using phonetic symbols in the book. Instead we feel that the combination of the tape and the acaompanying brie! desariptions of how the sounds are produaed will provide an appropriate basis for Swedish pronunaiation. We also hope that the student who studies with a teaaher will find both ahapter and tape he2pfut. We naturally tend to aonaentrate on those sounds that exist in Swedish and not in English, rather than on Bounds that are common to the two languages. Spending a little extra time in the beginning to get the Swedish sounds right is better than learning them inaorrectly and then trying to compensate later.
