I've just very recently begun studying Swedish, and I am a bit confused on how to pronounce certain sounds.
How do you pronounce the "stj" sound in "stjärnan" and the "sk" sound in sken? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The sj/skj/stj/sch/sk sound (did I forget any spelling variation?) is basically pronounced in two ways:
#1 [ɕ] according to IPA, but similar enough to [ʃ] as in "sheep" #2 the sound you make when cooling a cup of hot chocolate, without necessarily pouting the lips. (/ɧ/, voiceless palatal-velar fricative, if that helps) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
