Help with the Sounds of Norwegian from Youtube

One of the hardest parts of learning a new language is the sounds it has that are different to yours. In French you have the notorious French R, in German we have the ch in "ich" and in Russian it's the entire series of palatal consonants. Norwegian is, of course, no different. Fortunately, in this modern age, there are a load of videos on youtube to help you with this. Here are two I've found by a Norwegian teacher on youtube.

Now, I wasn't actually aware there was a difference until I watched this video this morning, so this has been a great help! With such similar sounds, I think the best you can do is just to watch the video multiple times, practising each sound aloud as she says it.

The next video, by the same person, focuses on the three vowel sounds represented by those letters unique to the Norwegian (and Danish) alphabet- æ,ø and å. I had a general idea how to pronounce these thanks to Duolingo and various audio I've listened to, but I think it's really good to isolate sounds so you really get a good picture of how they sound.

It's really good to hear a native speaker focus on these sounds, and she gives some good descriptions of exactly what the noise is you're trying to make. She has a load of videos, I've so far only watched these two but if you want to check out some more, you can find her channel here.
