Alfabetet ( Alphabet )

Note: Now keep in mind some of these will be hard to explain through typing it up here, so I wouldn't mind reading it out to you ( my little sisters, that, keep in mind, this whole blog is for ) next time we get to talk.


Alfabetet

A ah

B beh

C seh

D deh

E eh

F eff

G geh

H (Think of saying 'hoe' as in garden hoe )

I i ( Think of the word 'tea'. The long 'e' sound is what you use here. )

J jeh ( Think of placing a 'y' where the 'j' is and that's the sound you should make. Yeh )

K ( Think of saying 'ko' )

L el

M em

N en

O o ( Think of saying 'Oh' )

P peh

Q ku

R ær ( It's basically the same as how we say the letter, but roll the 'r' when you say it )

es

T te

U u ( Think of the sound 'oooooo' )

ve

W dobbel-ve

X eks

Y y

Z set

Æ æ

Ø ø

Å å


Now, those last three and the ones with an 'e' sound can get confusing and tough to say, but you have a lot of people that can help you with this. So don't sweat the small stuff. :)

So I finally get around to it....but there's a catch.

Yes, I finally decided what to do with this blog. I made this some time ago without any idea of what to do...and so left it blank until now. After speaking to my mother on the phone ( I live in a different country than her ), I've decided to use this blog mainly to help teach her and my sisters Norwegian. See, my husband is Norwegian and for some time, my family has taken an interest getting to know what his country and language is like. ....so...here we go. If this may help anyone else to learn the language a bit, that would be pretty cool, but just so those that read this blog understand: I'm writing this in a way that my family can understand. With how we speak in the Southern states, words do sound differently.
