Basic Danish: Learn to Pronounce Danish VOWELS Pt. 1/2 

Thing is, most speakers of English don’t pronounce the word put with a normal u sound like that, but more with a schwa or a mix of schwa sound and u sound, though in some accents (more likely in some British English accents) it may be pronounced like a normal u, but in general, u is not pronounced like an actual u like in Spanish etc, so usually there’s a mix of schwa sound in there, even in most o-based and a-based vowels, there is almost always some schwa mix in there, as the schwa and schwa-based sounds (and the half i / half e sound in the word chip) are some of the most used vowel sounds in English - re the å I cannot hear any difference between the o and the å in the actual sound, only the extra breath sound, which is usually not heard when words are pronounced fast and in conversations etc, so I don’t see how these letters could be considered a different sound, unless the å is supposed to be some a-based vowel that’s towards an o sound, or a diphthong like in Swedish, though the other ones are easy, cause y in Danish is basically an yu sound (normal i sound + normal u sound said together fast in one sound, which can be done in a more rounded way or less rounded way, with stronger u or stronger i sound, so there are a few variations of this diphthong sound) which is the ü in German and the u in Norse / Icelandic / Swedish and French and the uu and sometimes the u in Dutch, while ø in Danish is usually pronounced like an eo sound (normal e sound + normal o sound said together fast in one sound) as the ø in Norwegian and Faroese and Norse and the ö in Icelandic and German and Hungarian and the œ in Norse and French etc, so I am actually very used to these sounds, as I’ve been learning all those languages, but, I noticed that in some words in Danish it sounds like the y is actually pronounced like ui or ue instead of iu (maybe in the word ryg? or some other words with ry letter combinations) and the ø is pronounced like an oe instead of eo or something like that, though I cannot remember exactly in which words I heard that and which vowel combinations I actually heard, or it may have even been an y pronounced like an ø, or something like that, but I definitely heard at least one of those letters or both pronounced in a very different way, and the ipa isn’t always correct and doesn’t always show the right sounds, so this can be pretty confusing, so I don’t usually use the ipa, as it doesn’t even seem to have a symbol for the unique vowel sounds from Dutch words like fijn / trein / pijn etc that is right between a normal E sound and a normal A sound, which is the vowel that comes right before the i sound in many or most of the Dutch accents, but it’s listed as a normal e sound tho it’s not a full / normal e sound like the e in bet / better / bed etc, and, the ipa also lists the soft D in Danish as an eth sound ð tho it’s not even a true D sound and is more like a half-L sound / L-based sound, so I don’t think the ipa is accurate enough when it comes to some of these less known sounds that are usually only in one language or in two languages!
