Talk:Norwegian/Appendix 2

Why should the average Norwegian-learner already know phonetics? They don't do IPA and phonetics in kiddie school in the USA for one. Adding sound recordings to illustrate the sounds would also be wise, as SAMPA is even less known than IPA. --Kaleissin 16:51, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

There should be a more detailed section about the different accents. I tried to learn the numbers with 3 Norwegians and each one of them spoke differently (very differently). And I still can't do the Rolling Rr's 158.36.150.170 21:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

V
The pronunciation of "v" is stated to be identical in English and Norwegian here, but in fact they are different.

IPA
Thanks for making this beginner's course and presenting this module with IPA. It would also be helpful to add IPA to the pronunciation notes in the main lessons too, since it is so much clearer than the informal notation used. For example, representing "liker" with two English words, as "lee--care", is not adequate because many English speakers would pronounce that as [lɩ:ə.keəɹ], which is probably far from accurate. All the best. 100.0.71.123 (discuss) 08:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
