"Børn spiser brød."

Translation: Children eat bread.

[hrclbm]

I hear the "d" in brød as an "ld" or a lateralized d, is that correct?

[Bultokki]

It's a soft d and it's hell to pronounce

[MMuhr]

Anyone found some good instructionals on how to say that cursed ø?

I found this song to be helpful, albeit a bit silly

[MMuhr]

Yeah that song is pretty ridiculous but very helpful. As an American, much respect to the Danish Alphabet!

[NF6FxQcs]

Thanks, it's silly but funny!

This is the norwegian pronounviation btw, but Ø and Å is pronounced the same anyway.

[Idraote]

it's more or less like German ö or French œ.
You start by pronuncing the o of English "boy" then you push your lips forward as if you were going to give a kiss.
Do it in front of a mirror and after a few tries it will work.

[xy16j3]

Sometimes it sounds a bit like the vowel in the English word "bird".

[Hedebygade]

Do you know how to pronounce the french word for water, a bit like that.

[xy16j3]

No, they are very different.

[EmlynBro]

Oo = ø

I love to learn danish

[jfhrpshrncoshej]

im danish

[sawantshah]

bjørn, børn, barn ... very slight differences in pronunciation.

[BerkleeGem]

Børn and bjorne sound very similar in this audio. Taken out of context and given Duolingo nonsensical phrases, this is a poor example. Hope to learn but this is frustrating.
