    It's confusing that kjolen means the dress in Danish.

              It doesn’t. shoes in German is Schuhe, [ʃuːə], kjolen is [ɕuːlεn], so they sound really different. You’ll probably mix up kjolen and Schulen (schools), though.

              Yes indeed, it resembles the German "Schulen". I just wanted to ask if "kjolen" is pronounced as the Dutch game "sjoelen".

                I've heard kjol pronounced like shol on Google. Is that about right?

                  I would say it's more like shool
