    All the sound here in this example is not clear

      I second this -- the words run together in a weird robotic way.

          My mind is messed up.

          Its the same sound as portuguese, but this "k" always tricks me

            Anyone know why this is 'i kina' instead of 'på kina'?

            i is the normal preposition with countries just like in rather than on in English.

              There was an example that used "på Island" when referring to someone living in Iceland, so I don't understand in which contexts "på" and "i" apply when referring to being 'in a country'.

                Because Iceland is an island, it’s considered “on” - how a mod explained it.

                  its weird when sometimes the k isn't pronounced like a 'sh'
