Ive tried avout ten times to say en brun björn. I'm sure I've been closer than many other phrases it has accroted, but I can't get it to accept this one

[Susan6169]

Me too... it's always wrong :-(

[ColinFine]

It accepted it at last - at least björn, it's still showing brun in red. No idea what was different

[sunskii]

What is the diffrence between u and ö?

I've tried this one at least a dozen times. As far as I can tell I'm saying what she said. But it won't accept it whatever I try.
