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

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

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

                  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.

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

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