@book anon!!; some Swedes who aren't fluent/haven't had a lot of practice speaking English tend to pronounce L's further back in their mouth with their tongues lightly pressed against the roof of the mouth, (sort of like Russians and Finnish people, I guess, but less heavy) while experienced/native English speakers, who are more familiar with the mouth movements of a more or less flawless accent, pronounce L's with the tip of the tongue right behind their front teeth.

The thickness of this varies from region to region as the L and the R (and the Sch-sound) are, I'd say, the most important consonants when identifying and differentiating between dialects. Some of us also have a problem with the J. Because we don't pronounce the J as 'djay' but rather as 'yi', words like 'just' are often pronounced like 'yust'. The English E-sound in certain words, like 'english' and 'end' (the Eh-sound) is close to our Ä-sound, but still different.

(I can't really explain the Ä but it's more like 'æh' than 'eh') Which, in /some dialects/ makes 'English' sound more like like 'Anglish'. >> Sorry if this is confusing! If you need me to explain this further, or if you want more information on how Swedes from a specific region would sound in English, just go ahead and message me!! (*Via tumblr messenger, please, not my ask box*) I'm a native speaker with a love for languages, and I'd love to help you out!

I could even give you a custom audio file with lines from the book (spoken by me in different dialects), if that'd help. Good luck! - Jupiter<<

This was a message from noachilles for the anon who wanted to know about Swedish people speaking English. Thank you!!
