HOW TO PRONOUNCE Æ, Ø AND Å: FUNNY LANGUAGE LESSON. A hilarious and intensive Norwegian language crash course into some strange and unique vowels and letters. We focus on correct pronunciation Which requires you to exaggerate and really act it out. The way sheep and cows speak Norwegian will also help you a lot. Your ears might bleed, like Ronald’s - when Mads use his mother’s dialect to pronounce the words with the vocals in them. Like LOVE or BEER in Norwegian.
If you travel to Norway, visit, study or work in Norway, you will be surrounded by these comical and rare sounds. After watching this video, you will be a master of Norwegian vowels - and pronounce words like an native.
Our classroom is a park in Oslo, with trees as our blackboard. Our learning tools are an alphabet, neon-colored letters, and total ridicule of ourselves. It gets embarrassing, hysterical, violent and cringe worthy.
Mads annoys Ronald with one of Norway's least liked dialects. Ronald eventually gets mad and tries to escape or cover his ears when Mads sets off with his prickly sounds. Of course, we have fun and laugh a lot too. A yourway2norway (your travel guide to Norway and to understand the Norwegian culture) lesson is always entertaining and satirical. A bit sarcastic too of course. Especially in the section where we go pedagogically through various Norwegian words, such as wish, spirit, ear and open.
Shout out to our subscriber Sebastian X for suggesting this topic! Thanks a lot Sebastian. We are sure you will be lucky among Norwegian women too after learning how to pronounce AE OE AA 😉

I Asked you for this video and you guys are so amazing and did it! Tusen takk!!!
Great topic for a video, Manuel!!!
Thank you so much for this suggestion.
To be quite honest - Ronald reads Sebastian X's comment in the beginning. I think more people have asked. Very good idea, Manuel. Your wishes are our commands ♥
I think Norwegian pronounce A-Z differently much like other countries too.
Twusen takkk means 1000 times thanks right?
It was a pleasure learning how to speak Norwegian cow. Thank you.🤣
So I just have to remember sheep, cows and ducks. Sorted.
😂👌😂
I saw the title of this new video and immediately had 3 beers. It really helped with my pronunciation, and now Mads mom and I are going out for more beer, for I can finally understand her. Tak! :-D
(I can tell she is awesome, no matter where she is) :-)
She is ❤️
Calmly speaking gutteral animal sounds into Waldo's sock...
That's a good one! On point like a pencil! 👍
Still two crazy guys!
I just got back from a trip to Åndalsnes. Your video made me laugh and my cats were disturbed. I had a great time in Norway. I love your country.
Mads is my favorite cameraman on TH-cam 😂
Who would have thought you could make pronunciation so funny. You guys! LOL Mads is cracking me up. And that look on your face when he's doing his mother's dialect. Hilarious.
It really helps me to know Ronald thinks these are weird sounds too. Also I now know that if you mispronounce these it could prevent Norwegians from understanding me. Good video!
OMG it's birthing day on the farm! 😂😂 All those barnyard sounds! Such an interesting sock too! Seriously guys, great video, you make learning to pronounce vowels fun!
🤣🙉🤣
So in other words Norwegians speak Cow(ish). Some dialects might be Drunk Cowish or Drunk Sheepish. 😂
Hhahhaha, without english translation i would think it is chaos of cow, crow and drunk people at ale shop.
😆🤪😆
Sheep, cow, and people
After learning these sounds from a website, Babbel, Duolingo, and some other videos on TH-cam, I find that yours is the most helpful!
I would be extra happy if you include northern dialect next time because I have a plan to go to Tromsø
Thats awesome to hear Melody Violine! Thanks. We might make that video now - I am from the North, just outside Tromsø. Welcome and good luck :)
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I'm looking forward to your next video!
Hilariously educational. You two made my day 💜
Norsk is such a beautiful-sounding language to me. I love crisp sounding language, whether it's Ronald's or Mads'. Good work!
This is turning more and more crazy on each video :)
This video should come with a warning! hilarious, hysterical fun ahead!!
I want to hear camera guys mom now. :)
Ronald I wanna smoosh that sweet face 💕 Thanks for the laughs, I needed it.
It would be great to have a video on the different norwegian dialects across the country of Norway. Then we could know how each area pronounces language and changes in each region.
Whoops. That would be a veery comprehensive video, but if you get more than 2000 likes on this post, we promise 👏👏👏
The sock is priceless
Ronald, I love that you were talking into a sock!! Mads, your Western accent was very interesting LOL. Love you guys!
Thanks Polly. Happy birthday, we love you too :):)
Ever since my first YW2NW video, the now famous Mattpakke Classic, I've just been laughing non stop but never to the point where my sides hurt. Well, with this video I have now joined the group of people almost requiring hospitalization due to uncontrolled laughter. I mean it, this video is slated to become a classic, if it isn't already, in the annals of self-deprecating humor. The combination of weird sounds, Ronald's facial expressions, and Mum's western dialect from behind the camera is just too much to bear, so yes, I laughed until my sides hurt and I'm laughing still as I write this. Don't know if it's just me, but these two guys are some of the best comedians out there. Kudos to both of you for the great, and instructional entertainment, and keep up the great work!
We love you Rick Wyk - thanks a lot for your awesome engagement and comment. Cheers from Ronald & Mum ;);)
When I come home from work, I like to relax with some beer, and take a look some videos from your channel, but this was out of all my expectations. You just make me laugh and made my day beautiful....tnx :) your channel is awesome
I'm laughing so hard! It kind of sounds like you all are having abdominal pain moaning !😘😎LOL XO love your Channel
Please do one on some of your other letters, like how "sk" (sometimes) and "kj" sound like "sh" and how "gj" becomes 'y'.
My sides hurt and I can not breath. So happy I am crying.
Ha ha ha ha ha 😆. Sorry 🙏
"You are shocking the people around" LOL love it!
I like Mum's dialect more.
I think his mother's accent sounds like Fran Dresser (The Nanny sitcom show) would if she spoke Norwegian. Lol
I think mom's sounds like what Fran Dresher would sound like speaking Norwegian.
Dude - I don’t know how you make speaking to a crocheted hat look cool but you do.
Thanks Charles 😻
Your expression helps a lot in explaining the pronounciation. I mimic your face while repeating the words 😄
👌👌
4:57 perfect cow impersonation :))))))))
Thanks MRH :)
Love it 🥰 gold every time 😂😂😂😂
If I had been educated by you guys I’d be a genius 🤣 funny learning
U guys are the best 👍❤️🤟
I'm out of breath I can't do this anymore lol great video guys!
Best Moo ever, Ronald! 😂
Can't get past the sock on the microphone....you both are the best xo
Watching this video while eating was both gross and impossible because i couldnt stop laughing.
When foreigners, such as myself, are taught Norwegian we are taught the Østfold, or Eastern dialect, which thanks to Mads's examples I now know why a lot of Norwegians will speak English when they don't understand eachother. On Duolingo I'm being taught to not pronounce the "g" in words like "et døgn" (24 hours) and "fuglene" (the birds), but people from Hordaland and the rest of Western Norway will pronounce the "g". Learning about how your "Ø", "Æ", and "Å" is pronounced differently too is confusing to me. But then when I visit Bergen and speak like someone from Oslo with a heavy New York City accent they'll know I'm American...and most likely make "stupid American" jokes behind my back! XD:
Poor you! You have really entered our confusing and very complex language unviverse. Many 100 dialects and variations of the same word. But you seem to have a grip on it, so I am sure you will reserve respect and admiration soon!!
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY
The stupid american part of my comment was a joke at my expense.
Anyways, mange takk Ronald!
New video suggestion: Norwegian musikk. From traditional to modern day. Before I use Duolingo I go onto TH-cam and listen to TIX (Andreas Haukeland), Freddy Kalas, Katastrofe, HEUX, and Robin og Bugge to hear how the language is actually spoken. And I teach myself the choruses of some of their songs to help me build up my vocabulary, and learn how to say things other than "Jeg trenger vann", "Jeg tar av mine klærne", "Jeg har tre fugler", "Jeg kommer fra New York", "Katten ligger på sengen"-you get the idea.
Even though, Duolingo has taught me the differences between "hjemme/hjem", "oppe/opp", "rød/rødt/røde". Your language is very interesting in that way, as English doesn't do that. English also doesn't have 3 words for "kusine" (cousin), but it's more descriptive that way. When I say "cousin" they could be a guy or a girl, but when you say "fetters" not only do I know you have a cousin, but now I also know that your cousin is a guy.
On that note, why does the Norwegian language use gender?
7:08 Were you in pain, Ronald? LOL.
Haha, mental pains ;)
You guys sound 20 years older in Norweigan!
This is hysterical!
Mads' voice is so low that when he speaks I have a tough time understanding him. Maybe it's because he sounds as though he uses some of his dear mom's lilting and musical dialect? Nope. That's not it. Would you guys consider some subtitles for him, when he's off-camera?
Loved the insanity, thanks for another educational video!
I have added subtitles. Just check those when watching. Actually put a lot of effort in it as æ Ø å is not very suitable to blend with English 😜😜😜
I laughed my head off! Thanks!
I love your videos!!! Love from Italy ❤️
Mille gratzie 😀
That's funny I was looking at the little kid in the back and his mother was saying come! come! whats wrong with them lol.
So worth the wait! Just hilarious! You both sound like a couple of sick cows!!😂😂😂😂
I’m leaving for Stavanger in 48 hours and I’m excited to hear the language again haha ❤️
WOWELS! 😐😑😐 I do not understand why Norwegians fail to pronounce the letter "v". We have it in Norwegian, and we have it in English. Nothing has changed about the sound of it! We weren't Wikings, we were Vikings! It's not Darth Wader, it's Darth Vader, etc.
My Mom was Turki9sh and did the same, but the funny thing is she also made W into V, so she always said our last name Ger-rove
I took Norwegian lessons as I used to date a Norwegian guy and traveled often to Norway from Canada - Problem is you can never practice it in Norway - Everyone speaks English to you and won’t let you speak Norwegian! You guys apparently like to practice English too much lol 🤔😆😆
In Norway it can be very hard to practice Norwegians, as a lot of people often switch to english. For their own convenience, often. That is quite sad. Some of us might find it a bit struggling to talk "slow" - not very nice.
YOURWAY2NORWAY It makes it easy for us English speakers to feel at home in Norway. I feel so self conscious speaking Norwegian-I feel like everyone thinks I sound so stupid.. 🤪
Well this was so so helpful! I'm going to see my son for 3 weeks in Norway from America and I really needed to get a better understanding of how to say who's letters. Could you do another and explain how to pronounce things like "kj"? ❤
I have just one question; are you ok Ronald?
🤣🤣 Thanks for caring 😘
ą, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ć, ź, ż, sz, cz, dź, dż 😁 Good luck to say this! 😁😅 Greetings from Poland😊
😱🥴😱
be careful,you are about to call up assorted livestock
Hahahaha
Very fun, and I enjoyed hearing the different dialects too!
There are many in American English, but many people can not hear them. As a California, even here I can hear which part of the state someone is from by their dialect. Great video.
I've always wondered about this, and I laughed myself silly!
Hehe, cool to hear. Thanks for sharing 😘
Loved this! Well, in Texas we have a very strange language too ((giggle)). HOW IT'S SPELLED: internet, chest of drawers, pervert, mosquito, potato, tomato, damn, alligator HOW WE SAY IT: innernet, Chester drawers, prevert, skeeter, tater, mater, dang, gator. And so much more! It's really funny. I use proper English most of the time but I have my idiosyncrasies. Hugs from Houston!
Hahaha, just love the way your Texas versions of words. Tater, skeeter and dang are my favorites. Thanks Pippa - for being nice and sharing your story. Cheers from Ronald & Mads :):)
This is hilarious. Thanks for the laughs guys. Mads don’t try and teach Norwegian as a job you might not make any money 😂
😂👌😂
Hilarious. We make those exaggerated noises if we have trod in something nasty, hahaha
I enjoy learning with you more than I do with Duolingo lol
I do Duolingo too! I agree, YourWayToNorway is much more fun :)
OMG! My stomach hurts now. LMAO! You guys are SO crazy hilarious😂😈😉🤘thankyou for the er.....lesson🇳🇴 I literally had a 🐮🐄going thru my mind when you said that Ronald😌 Which gave me an idea. Could we have some videos about the flora and fauna of Norway? I would love to see/hear a Norwegian cow moo in your special vowel sounds! Hahahahaha!🙃😝😹🙉◀that is Ronald!😈😈😈😈😈
Yay Matpakke!
Wow you guys sure have a neat language, hahahha our English language is so boring here in Canada. May be that's the trick to learning it, make it fun. Thank you for doing this, take care.
You guys are nuts and I cant speak Norwegian any better than before.
my cat terrified because of the video
He he. Very many animals reacts to this video. Best Mads 😊
I find after a few stiff drinks I’m a lot better at this. ❤️ I swear I posted this before you said it was best to be drunk. 😂
Hilarious and informative! Many thanks! or... thaeeeenks?
👌😂
So fun! I felt crazy! And now I can’t get the English vowels right either! Lol! Does it ever get warm there?
Yes, last summer Oslo was burnt by the sun and warm temperature for months
3 AM and u made me laugh a lot 😂👌
The pronunciation of different SH and K may be harder for other language speakers. U may like to go a video on them.
Du gå på do og du på dø da 😐 seems like talking Korean thing.
Herr Hard har en hær her. 😐 Seems like laughing rudely :))
Haha. Good idea for a new language video. Thanks for sharing!
Omg!! I will not be able to say any of those words right for a long time😰😭🤣🤣🙈🙊❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Very funny video.
Wow! That was really educational. I have seriously wondered how those vowels were pronounced. You also made it fun.
Then you're on the wrong channle
Hæhæhæhæ løøve you guys 🤣🤣🤣 Some of your unique vowels seem to work as constipation relievers, which is a lovely thing. Also I see that your microphone is wearing socks?! Did it protest much?
🤣🤣 Nope, because this one was much prettier than the last one we used 😘
The best pronounciation video I have watched (very entertaining😂). I wonder while u were pronouncing that unique vowels (quite noisy) in the park, how other ppl might think? s***? 😂 wish u gain more subscribers sooner 🍻
Other people think they are drunk.
Thanks a lot 😻
Hahahahaha I almost died @4:50-5:05 This is dangerously funny.
I am curious in Oslo there is a neighborhood called Grünerløkka, how the ü vowel is included in a Norwegian name?
Manuel Fuentes Usually Norwegian and Danish don’t use ü, but German does. I’ve only seen it used in Norway in names of German origin like Simen Hegstad Krüger. Grünerløkka is named for Friedrich Grüner, a Norwegian whose father was from Germany.
@@2ravens1 Thanks a lot for your answer!
Manuel Fuentes You‘re so welcome :)
In German we have(I say we cause I speak German, but I'm Brazilian 😂😂😂) the ä, ö and ü. If it helps, in German from Austria they substitute the umlaut(the 2 dots) with an 'e', so ae, oe and ue. Maybe easier for foreigners to have an idea of the sound like that.
With the ö and ü you have to make of the same duck lips Ronald shows in the video 😂😂 the ä sounds more like e than a.
The difference is very subtil for someone learning it but it makes the biggest difference since a few words have only the dots to distinguish them, like the words for humid/sticky and gay in German, respectively, schwül and schwul. 😂😂😂😂
It's a leftover from other languages, think Germany. Or within that family which our language mostly springs out from. We pronounce it "y". Like in Grynerløkka. But we never name new things from Norway anything with that letter. Unless we are pretensious. Best Mads 😊
You guys are hilarious!!! 😂🤣😂
Thanks 😀😀
This is so funny! Who knew duck lips are necessary to speak proper Norwegian??? I have a question ?? Why that sock? Love you guys, thank you!
lol....I once met a Danish American man who knew: Danish, English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, the honorable, the hardworking blonde giant who cautioned me on learning German could be quite hard, not as easy as learning the Latin languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French or Italian, English is way easier since it has some latin base but German as I imagine the other Nordic languages are really hard for us Auslanders!
Very informative hope I get to Norway one day.
Watching Ronald’s reaction, I feel I have stumbled into a new form of Hitchcock films; I have witnessed an assault without in any way understanding it.
On the O with the line through it, my Norwegian grandmother would tell us to purse our lips ( or make duck lips, as you said) but to say a long A.
Cool to hear. Duck lips maybe fit them all 😂 Thanks for sharing your story with us
i like that west coast dialect:D
Hugs from the States!,
Have you two considered starting a subscriber subsidized fund to finance some trips for your next videos? You guys are far too cute and entertaining to be kept in Oslo! Oslo should be paying you, as I'm positive that your videos have ramped up travel there.
I see why you like Syden in Portugal...warm climate, beaches, and very close by air. Are there other places you prefer for holiday?
I search your videos daily for new ones, but most of the former ones are so hilarious I watch them over and over. I enjoy Ronald's impish smiles and Mads attempts to be grumpy. His imitation of his Mom's dialect is so funny!
When did you and Mads decide to create these videos? You deserve to be on worldwide t.v.!
Is it true that your summer is so short that air conditioning is not used in Norway?
Your engagement is really awesome and motivating SANDRA A. Yes, we have been thinking about trips to more spectacularer places in Norway. But its not only money, but our ordinary work that keeps us in Oslo. And when we have vacation, as you have noticed, Portugal is our favourite. Mine is of course South America too - Chile, Bolivia and Peru. After we got in touch with so many from the States making our videos - we want to go there too. Hugs from us :):)
13:20 Are those just large pigeons in the background? :)
Yes, we call them ring pigeons
Hhhh, here in Brazil we just have the traditional 5 vowels but with the marks they become á â a, é ê e, í i, ó ô o and ú u.
Pls one special video with the right pronontiation of some city names like Bødo, Ålesund, Røst, Å, etc.
I love you .
You guys are hilarious😂
Thanks and cheers Patti DM 😜😜
What are your other jobs besides this channel? You really should have a lot more subscribers because this is a really well done, creative, informative great channel! Good luck!
We work with marketing and linear tv. Thanks a lot for being nice 😻😻
Thank you for making this video. I'm American and I struggle with Norwegian. Just when I think I can say a word correctly, I find out I'm not using the correct dialect.
Poor you. That's a struggle in Norway. Thanks 😀
How can you make this sounds in a regular, low volume conversation? I can only make them shouting and doing funny faces. Love from Perú
Umm, did you forget the W on your alphabet or do you not have a W in the Norwegian language (like Italy did not have W, J, K, X, and Y) But there is a W in Norway!
Yes, They forgot the W
There is no W. My last name is Wallis. Forget that. My first name ... my older cousin gave up and just called me “den store” and my younger sister “den Lille.”
Yeah they did 😅😅
The norwegian alphabet has 29 letters, and should include the letter W. We do, however, not use it in any norwegian words, only in a handful of words we stole from other languages and a few names. When it comes to pronunciation there's no difference between W and V in norwegian.
@@mademoisellebismuthbismuth3002 Do you say NorWegian or NorVegian?
I watched this video at the office and I tried very hard not to laugh out loud 😂 I always get confused by those letters. Thanks for this great video. Perhaps you can also do a video about Bokmal and Nynorsk, and your dialects? As to my language, we don't have alphabets but we have different intonations which can drive non-native speakers crazy.
Polish letters like : Ł ( wyy) , Dź ( jee) , Ę ( eu) , Ć ( chee), Dż ( G) , Ą ( ow) , Ś ( shee) . nice movies , keep goin guys
Cool to learn Oskar! Thanks for sharing and being nice. Cheers from Ronald and Mads :):)
So it’s a sheep 🐑
A cow 🐄
And awww or owww your cute
😘😘
Loved this! 6-7 times in Norway and I didn't know these.
Lovely video, as always!! :) In greek we have 5 kinds of i, 2 kinds of o and e but the pronounciation doesn't change at all... Sometimes spelling is a bitch though... :P
Wow, really!?? Must be hard to learn your language - or? Thanks Maria V :):)
English doesn't have extra letters or accents (except one rarely used). The number of same letters and order of letters and adding letters (maybe very random & complicated?) often changes pronunciation like hop, hope stop, stoop slop, sloop strip, stripe step, steep cloth, clothe etc
Cool to learn! Thanks for sharing Paul K :)
Man! Can't wait for the trip now!! 👍🏼😁
u guys r soooo funny
Thanks for being cool and engaging with us! Cheers from Ronald and Mads :):)
Seems like you two were pissed before making this video 🍺 🍺 🥃 🍷 🥂 🍾 😜
😂🤣 the best!!! Takk jjjj
Do you learn English in school? It seems a lot of the people that you interview speak very good English. How many languages can you speak? And, Ronald. your hair is gorgeous. looks very good.
We learn english from day one in elemrntary school 👌
Sondre Meier is correct. It is also compulsary to choose a third language. In my time it was either french or german. English is taught for the mostly the whole run, but the third choice is more or less the last years of the normal school. Best Mads.
Thank you
how much did u smore before filming it?
Ha ha ha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
