Episode description
This week’s episode is a masterclass in pronunciation! And it’s one of my favorite topics to teach. We are going to dive into the unique R-combinations in the Swedish language!
When the letter R comes before certain consonants, the sound changes completely (in most parts of the country). These are called retroflex sounds.
