At the start of this language course, I think you should pronunce the G. Without the G, it turns into the Swedish word for "Yes". However in everyday conversation the G in "Jag" tends to become silent. If you're not putting extra emphasis on that particular word. As far as I know, the only reason for "the silence of the G" (in this case), is that in a sentece it will decrease the prenunciation effort. Resulting in a slightly better flow. With total disregard for struggling language learners. Pronuncing the G in jag is never wrong, but could be perceived as "less relaxed".
Why does the word "Är" sound like the letter r in the audio, but other words with an umlaut A, like "Äter", or "Äpple" sound more like eh. Am I supposed to pronounce "Är" more like "air"?
There is one, actually, but it doesn't show in mobile. You can access all notes through a desktop browser, or on the unofficial website Duome: https://duome.eu/tips/en/sv
