It's one of the most common words in the language so we're a bit sloppy with it. The ch has never mirrored pronunciation though, it could just as well have been written with ck from the start. Or k.
To say it correctly it's more like "ock" for an English speaker. But as previously mentioned it's common to shorten it to just a short o (all Swedish vowels have one short and one long sound).
When I hear "och" it kind of makes an oi-k sound to it. Would that be proper or how is it more properly pronounced?
It's just a short O or short Å, the -ch /k/ is usually silent unless the word stands alone or is emphasized.
i wrote ' a girl and a boy' and it was marked wrong. because i didn't capitalize the A. is that a swedish thing, is 'en' always capitalized even in incomplete sentences?

The first letter of a sentence is always capitalized, but you probably made some other mistake if you were marked wrong.
I know what the problem was I translated it when I was actually supposed to just repeat it or something.
You know porchãgece right? If you do, I accidentally put A on accident. Then I pushed the green button a little to early.
och means"and" and another word but I forget. I figured that och was probably going to be "a" in the first place. Im very very good at porchãgece. I now a lot of swedish and spanish because I know a lot of porchãgece. I know a lot of swedish because porchãgece is close to swedish. I know a lot of spanish because porchãgece is close to spanish a lot more than swedish. And im only 9 years old.
A good way to remember and is that it sounds like "A girl OH and a boy" like you jusr rember something
Im being onist, I just started swedish. And it almost sounds like swedish fish lol.
Im actually comfodint, pls my mom even has this even though she sleeps for 10 hours a day
