    I'm doing 'type what you hear' exercise and wonder, if there is any difference in pronunciation between 'pigen spiser æblet' and 'pigen spiser æbler'?

        There is definitely a difference, but in everyday speech it is very subtle.

          I am having a lot of trouble with this. I wish it weren't so subtle. I don't hear it at all. T^T

            And here is a pronunciation for æblet (the apple).

            No, there is not much of a difference, but I hope you found it a little bit helpful anyway. =)
