More than the rules of Swedish (which I'm somewhat familiar with due to reading your other works), I'm actually more interested in various suggested practice methods, both for an individual teaching herself like your example, and for an instructor guiding some students. Currently, I'm trying to turn my pronunciation-learning hobby into a pronunciation-teaching occupation, so I'm always on the look-out for new ways to help people adjust their pronunciation.

Here is one way, as expressed by a person who just heard me at a TESOL convention a couple of years ago. http://www.k-way.home.sonic.net/
Also the proceedings from LP98 (Linguistics and Phonetics Conference, Ohio, 1998) http://olle-kjellin.com/SpeechDoctor/ProcLP98.html Most detailed procedures, rationales and scientific references in my book "Uttalet, språket och hjärnan" (Pronunciation, Language and the Brain). 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Slovenian, as well as Swedish, Serbo-Croatian, Lithuanian, and Japanese, has pitch accent. Therefore, the concept
in Swedish was probably not as alien to this Slovene woman as it might be to an English speaker. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

The Scanian pitch accent (as well as central West Norwegian/Bergen pitch accent)
is relatively easy for speakers of Southern Slavic languages to imitate, because A1 is HL, while A2 is LHL, which are like falling and raising pitch accents of Slavic languages, Stockholm/Stavanger (A1 LH(L), A2 HLHL), and Oslo/Gothenburg (A1 LH, A2 LHL) are extremely difficult for us. To our ears, the Stockholm A2 accent on short vowels does not sound like pitch accent at all, but like a split word/different syllable stressed: 'kvínnà (one word in Malmö): 'kvìnn.'nnà (two words in Stockholm, like two Mandarin words with the 4th tone). As for compounds, we hear different phonetic realizations of pitch as different stress: LÄgenheten in Malmö (stress on LÄ), lägenHETen in Stockholm (stress on HET) If we applied BCS pitch accent on lägenheten, we would get the 1A type of accent (NE part of South, the 3rd pattern on the left):
